Right ... just don't die, no code is worth it.

Oh, wait. My bad, it is building. Buit I do see some assets loading issues, like full screen images before they get resized.

I did, not working out-of-the box with SvelteKit. Build fails on virtual $env imports.

Just built our @svelte.dev-based web site with @vite.dev 7 beta and it went smooth as silk. Kudos!

Won’t be able to make it to Barcelona this year, but as a wheelchair user and @svelte.dev community member - knowing that the venue is fully wheelchair accessible (without digging around for info) is hugely important.

Congrats to @rich-harris.dev and Svelte Team pushing #a11y online and offline. ✌🏻

Opening tag signs missing from CSS

Opening tag signs missing from CSS

Wouldn't that ask for an alternative /svelte-template.json for downloads? It would improve initial experience for new users. Also, while at downloads, is only my CSS truncating <'s?

As with any other similar solution you have to work around full page reload as the back button loads partial only.

Are you actually exporting MyCompo from $lib/index.ts?

Don't be afraid to put in the hours on your next project and avoid shortcuts. Think twice about installing that package. An hour spent today is a week spared next year. #lessonslearned #svelte

Ah, TIL. Thanks. I'll surely post here once I deploy a Go project to CF.

No, not yet. Anything special about it?

Thanks for the writeup, but why is that unexpected? I believe this feature is very well documented.

I am using HeidiSQL for it. Work out the tables, constraints, views, triggers, procedures. Insert some and see how it all behaves before commiting the initial migration script.

GUIs for initial designs are god sent. But, it feels much safer writing my own SQL for long term maintenance.

Thanks for fixing it, it works now.

Paraglide-SvelteKit | inlang A SvelteKit integration for ParaglideJS, providing you with everything you need for i18n routing

A usable starter should include i18n and l10n. This means using something like Svelte reroute() for beautiful localized URLs and easy enough translation. Paraglide is making some progress here. inlang.com/m/dxnzrydw/p...

Onboarding to demo was actually bad for me: only English characters accepted and no error message on password max length which cuts off characters by itself. And when I wanted to close the account, it errored out with "Something went wrong". But, this won't stop me exploring. :)

You're welcome. Best of luck with your future projects!

shadcn-svelte Beautifully designed components built with Bits UI and Tailwind CSS.

May I recommend svelte-ux.techniq.dev by @techniq.dev or next.shadcn-svelte.com by Huntabyte. Both brilliant.

Just deployed a @svelte.dev site with @vite.dev 6 on @cloudflare.social with @tailwindcss.com 4. It just works (ok, some package overriding helps). Great job, everyone, thanks!
