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.… Svelte goes beyond the DOM

📣 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.

yes works with 5

Let me know if you run into any issues!

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

LET'S GO SVELTE

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. 🥳

Why I choose Svelte - Mainmatter We know Svelte is THE best framework (😎)...but why? Let's explore why (and when) I think Svelte is the right choice for you

What makes Svelte the right choice for modern frontend projects? And when is it not? In this blog post, @paolo.ricciuti.me breaks down the advantages and limitations of Svelte, and what that means for your next product decision.

Sometimes people ask me why I picked svelte...I put my thoughts in words here and no, it's not just a technical thing. This is my love letter to svelte 🧡

Me too :D

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.

New in Svelte: Comments inside component/element tags!

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

npm i @laravel/stream-svelte

Easiest way to consume streamed responses from your backend in your Laravel + Svelte app, hands down

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!

php is cool now

laravel new command being run in the terminal, now with a Svelte option

Welcome to the party, @svelte.dev

New starter kit just dropped:

Laravel + Svelte + Inertia

YouTube video by LogRocket Fine grained reactivity and async first frameworks | Rich Harris | PodRocket

🌾 Rich Harris (@rich-harris.dev), creator of Svelte, joins @podrocket.bsky.social to unpack Fine Grained Everything and what comes after React Server Components: why better primitives beat micro-optimizations and what this means for frontend architecture: youtu.be/isp32w1uJ3k?...

Besides that we have many maintainers doing work in their spare time, and one of them, Tee Ming - thanks to donations to OpenCollective from the community - is now able to work on SvelteKit 20hrs a week!

Vercel wants the web to win, and so it invests in much more than just Next.js. We have full autonomy while getting great insights into what companies like Vercel need from a framework (without marrying ourselves to one!), win-win overall.

Yeah it's running typescript's CLI, capturing the output, then mapping the generated line/column/file info back to the original files and then outputting it in svelte-check's format
