it's probably way too early to share this, but what the hell — i'm working on a way to build WebGL scenes directly inside @sveltejs apps. ridiculous amount of work to be done, but initial results are encouraging.

@sveltejs On the left, we have the React version, running in prod mode. On the right, Svelte (in dev mode, because I forgot to build it. Oh well.) Notice the huge gap in the React version whenever you change the count. With Svelte? Honey badger don't care.

Moved some of my smaller libs to JSDoc TS; thoroughly recommend it. Among other things, the resulting code is generally smaller than transpiled code. Building, testing etc all become much less finicky. And .d.ts files are still generated from source code

Interesting counter-trend - maintainers of large open source projects like @Sveltejs and @Deno_land are moving *AWAY* from writing their internals in TypeScript Just at the same time when the wider dev world is falling in love with TS. Reasons: build times and code complexity.

friends, please don't do this sort of thing! it's cool to be excited about tech and to feel connected to a particular community, but not to get in people's faces about it (in IRL or on twitter etc). it makes OSS authors wince when we hear stories like this

At a coffee shop working, just had someone notice I was reading a @solid_js article. The next 30 minutes involved him *emphatically* explaining why Svelte was the future and I was wasting my time with anything else…that Rich is a genius and now Dominic Gannaway joining…🤯🤯🤯

zig when others zag we're experimenting with moving the nav bar on *.svelte.dev to the bottom on mobile so that it's easier to use the site one-handed. feels more accessible, if a little unconventional. thoughts?

How do you feel about bottom navigation for documentation pages? If you don't like em, why? Bottom Top

This print graphic was made with WebGL. We customised the fragment shader from the online version () to output 100% cyan, to avoid colour separation in case the printer plates were misaligned

@icarusgkx Thank you. My language was unnecessarily harsh and I apologise. While I do feel we owe it to our followers to post accurate information and remove things that are misleading, it's no excuse. I was frustrated about a larger trend and lashed out. I'm going to delete my reply.

apparently we suck at 'marketing' — sveltekit is stuffed to the brim with neato features like this and a lot of them are almost totally unknown we need to get better at tooting our own horn 🎺

My talk from @jscamp , "The Return of 'Write Less, Do More'" is up on YouTube: It's a 30 min talk on @sveltejs , and why less code = fewer bugs — kind of a sequel to "Rethinking Reactivity" () Here's a summary thread:

My talk from @YGLF_IL , 'Rethinking Reactivity', went online yesterday — . You probably don't have time to watch a 35 minute video though, so I'm going to pull out a few key slides into a quick tweet thread:

The more I use HEY, the more I think it makes the case for 'modern' SSR'd SPA-ish development, rather than the Rails+Turbolinks+Stimulus model. I realise it's v1, but there are some rough edges that will be hard to fix, that you just don't expect to see in an app in 2020.

heads up if you're a SvelteKit user: we're planning a significant design upgrade in the coming days. it's going to be a breaking change that involves some migration work (sorry) but it's going to be so, so worth it, i promise. details here:

we finally got round to merging the PR that adds a lifecycle hook where you can call document.startViewTransition 🥳 @geoffrich_ has the rundown 👇

Want to use view transitions in your SvelteKit app? v1.24 unlocks view transitions with a new lifecycle method. We’ve already added them to the Svelte site - watch the blog titles slide into place! Read all about it in my latest on the Svelte blog:

With the caveat that the #StateOfJS survey is probably wildly unrepresentative of developers at large, and with an acknowledgment that @sveltejs still has a long way to go, I'm pretty encouraged with these results. Proud of our small but mighty community

the svelte team designs things with a focus on practical outcomes rather than ideological goals. 'static all the things' or 'SSR all the things' or '0kb JS all the things' result in cool demos, but real apps are complex and messy and evolving and our tools should accommodate them

I think this is a really underappreciated fact. Prerender your landing page for maximum performance, SSR your dynamic pages, and make your admin dashboard behind a login an SPA? All possible with #SvelteKit in the same app!
