Node.js—I just learned that there is: npm init --init-type=module --yes But it doesn’t help much. I’ll probably continue to use `npm init` without that flag and change "commonjs" to "module" manually. It feels like npm could switch to "module" as the default now.

I made a video explaining the new Svelte `@attach` feature which is the `onMount` for elements and how it improves on Svelte actions using GSAP as an example. 🔥 youtu.be/9PREEREiPAE

Attachments are now out as part of Svelte 5.29! They're a better version of the `use:` actions that Svelte has historically used and let you "attach" actions like: <button {@attach tooltip('Hello')}>Hover me</button>

We just released a huge improvement to SPA support in SvelteKit 2.21.0. You can now write client-only load functions without it triggering a crash during the build process. Thanks to @bholmes.dev for reminding us of this issue and spurring us to work on it and Tee Ming for implementing it!

✨ How good are AIs at writing Svelte 5 code? I decided to test the newest models and find out. More info soon, but the tldr is: Gemini 2.5 Pro is best, all OpenAI models do poorly. Base results: khromov.se/svelte-bench With llms-small.txt: khromov.se/svelte-bench... #svelte

So, some of you may know that recently I'm working full time on the svelte renderer API thanks to the company I work for ( @mainmatter.com ). This will unlock using Lynx to build native applications with svelte. There's still a lot of work to do but isn't a counter the mother of all apps? 🧡😍

Out of all the frameworks I’ve tried to convert to my favorite contacts app tutorial (RedwoodSDK, Waku, React Router 7, SvelteKit, SolidStart, Nuxt, Angular), React Router 7 and SvelteKit have been by far and away the easiest and best UX implementations.

Svelte 5 usage just passed Svelte 4 usage! If you haven't migrated yet, there's a great migration tool available via the CLI, playground, and VS Code! We've also been steadily improving the docs and smoothing out any rough edges we notice people hitting to help people adopt the new version.

Okay, maybe we played a bit too much with transitions. But hey, when you spend hours to figure out how to plot trading times of different indices on a non-continuous time scale, then you've well deserved a little bit of Svelte fun. 🧡📊 Stock charts for @spiegel.de. Try on your own: spiegel.de

ParaglideJS Version 2 for Svelte / SvelteKit has been released. I’ve been using v1 with mixed feelings, but FWIW from following the v2 beta sprint, it’s truly an improvement. Congrats to the team! Robust i18n is a critical component for the Svelte|Kit ecosystem www.reddit.com/r/sveltejs/s...
