This new #svelte feature is really exciting! It's basically a more versatile replacement of actions.

Very interesting... This will enable us to use `await` directly inside `<script>`, `$derived` and template code. In a SvelteKit context, this potentially means that the `load` function will not remain the place to fetch your data, but that components can do that themselves. #svelte

I recently watched Adolescence on Netflix and at the risk of sounding a bit iconoclastic, I’d like to offer some criticisms and concerns about how the mini-series (perhaps inadvertently) perpetuates some myths related to the online radicalization of men and boys.

The power of view transitions is absolutely mind-boggling. Things like this 👇 are quickly done with some CSS (no hacks!) and no additional DOM elements. Wild! 🤯

Thank you @matsimon.dev for this great blog post explaining $effect.root in Svelte 5! www.matsimon.dev/blog/svelte-... Really cleared up some confusion I had about why $effect.root wouldn't track my changes. 😀

Good read. "The man claims to have principles, but he appears to have only moods and impulses."

Very interesting new #svelte proposal: https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/pull/15000 A better, more portable implementation of “actions” called “attachments”.

Elon Musk pretending to be one of the best players of Path of Exile in the world, and then live streaming to prove it... just to show everybody that he has absolutely no clue what he's doing and just bought some Chinese account has got to be one of the funniest things this year so far.

I love the chess drama.

I’m really happy about this. I see way too many people switching to Bluesky because it has not been taken over by a right wing lunatic. But the important thing about Bluesky is not that the company it is controlled by is not insane (yet), but that the network is decentralized!

In case you missed it, #vscode now has an option for custom labels! The #svelte vscode extension will set this automatically in the future, but until then, you can make these changes to optimize your tab labels in a #sveltekit project. github.com/sveltejs/lan...

Just published a post about the new createSubscriber() function in #svelte, and how it helps you manage reactive values from external sources.

Excellent post by @rviscomi.dev about how to get loops off the main thread efficiently.

Why can't we just use // sharedState.svelte.js export const searchText = $state(""); in the new #Svelte v5? @matsimon.dev was so kind to explain it to me, I turned my learnings (and his answers) into a short blog post: dev.to/mandrasch/sv... Critical feedback welcome! #javascript #webdev
