A new milestone has been achieved quietly: @sveltiacms.app has effectively solved 500 Netlify/Decap CMS issues, including duplicates. Never thought that would happen when I started the project! Now I think 800 is a reasonable goal. 💪💪💪

Great to see Svelte and SvelteKit are constantly evolving. Kudos to the team for their hard work! 👏

Technology | 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey

Once again Svelte is the most 'admired' JavaScript framework according to this year's Stack Overflow Survey: survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/technol...

People love shortcuts as often said in the UX world.

Can confirm 5.35.4 introduced the issue. No errors raised with 5.35.3. Will follow the issue!

Better effect stack logging · Issue #13256 · sveltejs/svelte Describe the problem See #13231 (comment) Describe the proposed solution Attach location information to effects in development, so that it can be used when generating the error message. For simple ...

It’s updated yesterday: 5.36.12. I see #13256 is still open.

No, because there is no way to even know which component or script is causing the issue. But I’m smart, so I’ve already identified it by adding `untrack` to `$effect`s.

Svelte has encountered an infinite loop again, and it’s not possible to to debug this easily. The stack trace is useless. Poor DX 🫤

No, React is bad. We should call bad things bad. Otherwise, we as human beings won’t evolve. That said, I’m not saying Svelte is the best. Svelte is rather too opinionated.

When a custom stylesheet is provided, the preview switches to an iframe, allowing the content to be fully styled. Thanks to Svelte, the implementation is very simple. Just reuse a snippet, mount an empty component with it, and you’re done! 🙌

I use @deck.blue. It doesn’t include link previews by default. There’s also an option to require an image alt text before posting.

Many thanks to my broken circadian and aging clocks! #Forever20s

When I’m really focused, like today, I can work for 10 hours straight. When Firefox 1.0 was released, I worked for 3 days straight without sleeping. Not sure if I could do that now at age 43, but I feel younger when I work longer. 🥳

I actually filed a bug with Mozilla requesting this feature 15 years ago. It was implemented in Firefox 10 years ago.

I’m surprised that Chrome still doesn’t have a built-in JSON viewer. Firefox has had one for a long time.

My code is a bit weird. I could create a minimal reproduction, but I suspect it’s an edge case. Rather than filing an issue in the Svelte repo, I should probably rewrite it with runes. 😉

Creating a better DX, one step at a time 🙌

Work around Svelte 5.35.0 reactivity bug · sveltia/sveltia-ui@731f054

I’ve found a quick workaround, but it’s still broken in 5.35.2. Will check back.

I’ll never understand those who write (Tailwind) styles inline. The concept of separation of concerns should be taught in elementary school.

Svelte 5.1.13: Reassigning store leads to `undefined` · Issue #14233 · sveltejs/svelte Describe the bug Svelte 5.1.13, probably #14195, introduced a regression in the store API, breaking my Sveltia UI library and Sveltia CMS. I had to downgrade to 5.1.12 to get rid of the error. Afte...

Looks similar to an issue I reported before but different. Will check back tomorrow.

Can't add to list since 0.86 release · Issue #447 · sveltia/sveltia-cms The UI is broken in more than one area with the latest release. Specifically I can't add objects to a list, and the user icon at the top does nothing, whereas I think I could at least go there to s...

Svelte 5.35.0 broke @sveltiacms.app (actually the underlying Sveltia UI library) again. So wild!

Happy Canada Day! It’s been almost 12 years since I moved to this great country. I think now’s the time to call it my home. 🇨🇦

Push marketing that works 😺 I’m a marketer by nature, not a programmer.

Microsoft Teams is/was horrible too. An exception is Outlook Web, which is really great. Much better than Gmail.

It’s 2025. Microsoft 365 (Office) still uses a floppy disk icon for the Save button. These apps are designed for old people like me. Poor UX.

Can I implement all of them before EOY??? 🤔

My bedtime today is from 10 AM to 4 PM. You can never guess my age or time zone. Randomness is a good thing.

My body clock is broken for 20+ years. I still feel great when I go to bed at 6 AM and wake up at 11 AM. 😺 Another reason to be happy on Tuesday: KFC is offering a special deal! 🐔
