How we Rewrote 130K Lines from React to Svelte in Two Weeks We ported Strawberry's entire frontend from React to Svelte in two weeks using coding agents. It made the browser 2x faster.

myth: LLM-assisted coding means everyone is forced to use The Popular Framework forever

reality: agents will happily migrate your entire app to The Good Framework

inertia is a powerful drug but we are entering a world without moats, plan accordingly

So it mostly depends on how much risk you're willing to take and how ok you are with a potential refactor here and there.

Async itself in Svelte is pretty stable (mostly bugfixing left). Remote function basics are also stabilizing, and if we change something we will provide clear migration paths and/or backwards compatibility so you have time to migrate.

Svelte goes beyond the DOM Svelte is well loved as a web framework, and now the team is working to take it multi-platform. Svelte’s custom renderers API will enable native apps, terminals, and more to be build with Svelte.…

📣 Just Scheduled

Could Svelte power terminal and native apps? OSS maintainers working on the customer renderers API are aiming to make multi-platform Svelte a reality. @paolo.ricciuti.me talks through what it takes to make this ambitious API, a reality.

In the sense of it running more often that it should (or even infinite loops)?

Interesting, I thought we made pretty clear that for 99% of apps it's a drop-in upgrade (i.e. zero code changes required) and that interop between old and new is super good.

Downloads by Major (or Minor) Reveal problems users are having with upgrading to the next major (or minor). Search for a package to see if its ecosystem has an upgrading problem.

25% according to majors.nullvoxpopuli.com/q/h?minors=&... (I think we can ignore the Svelte 3 downloads at this point; they're never going to update)

Who here is on Svelte 4 yet?

Curious to hear what is stopping you from upgrading to Svelte 5, and if we can make things any easier here.

SvelteKit 2 now fully supports Vite 8

SvelteKit 3 will require it - giving additional optimizations and functionality. E.g. SvelteKit 3 will use @rolldown.rs hook filters to spend more compilation time in rust and less in JavaScript. And SvelteKit 3 adapters use only rolldown without esbuild

Almost 3 years since editable.website won 2nd place at @sveltesociety.dev SvelteHack.

Since then, I’ve been busy turning this from a prototype into something solid.

A way to build CMS-free, in-place editable websites using only Svelte.

This is v2. 🥳

You know what - you're right. So this is now possible, too.

oh good point - not yet, though it should be possible to implement.

Right now the comments just don't exist for language tools, but we could add them to enable that.

This one's been bugging me for a while that we don't have it, and honestly I'm unsure why we waited so long to implement it. Now it's finally possible!

Upgrade to latest Svelte and - if you use it - latest prettier-plugin-svelte to enjoy commenting out stuff.

Yesterday we introduced our new @svelte.dev starter kit, today we're bringing our stream package on board:

We just released a number of security patches across the Svelte ecosystem. If you use SvelteKit, the Vercel adapter for SvelteKit, Svelte, or devalue, you should upgrade.

The Vercel OSS Bug Bounty paid out over $14,000 for these reports!
