@microsoft.com @developer.microsoft.com I'm lost in your sign in flow hell trying to reset my Azure sign in. There is literally no way to reset an account. I'm getting charged for services I can longer access. I've been assigned a help ticket but it's been weeks and nothing 😭

One of these headlines is not like the other.

Yeah. Vercel is gonna sink so hard. Hopefully Rich and the guys can find a safer harbour to work.

svelte-check is now much faster for all Svelte users!!! 33% faster in this real world test case!!!

Thanks @43081j.com for all your efforts to speed up Svelte as part of improving the JS ecosystem via @e18e.dev!

Well he's biased! Personally I'm sticking with Claude, only posted my original message as proof it was possible to get the correct answer out of GPT-5.

In this case it's not. For a code refactor or larger task like converting a document to a presentation it's super useful.

Never trust the answer. Test the answer. It's a tool, understanding it's limitations and how to work around them are important.

Yep thanks, knew all that and I had a working app. But I just bumped all the deps in a project I've not touched since March and global state is borked. 🀷

Feeling stuwpid. How does global state management work in Svelte now. Was there a breaking change since March?

Can you do a write up on this please?

@rich-harris.dev @vercel.com I'd love if we could get this into official offerings 😘

feat: native support for Websockets by LukeHagar Β· Pull Request #12973 Β· sveltejs/kit This PR is a replacement to #12961 with a completely different Websocket implementation using crossws that should be fully compatible with all major runtimes. Functionality has been validated local...

github.com/sveltejs/kit...

Would be nice if @vercel.com supported Websockets + SvelteKit out of the box via @cloudflare.social Durable Objects integration or something similar.

I'm very keen to use it and don't want to move off Vercel.

@gitlab.com CRAZY IDEA but maybe walk new users through setting up a simple repo... you need a fucking degree to "Generate an SSH key pair" on windows.

Svelte Web development for the rest of us

We just updated ~100 profile links on svelte.dev to point to BlueSky. Most of the Svelte community is more active here now, so it just made sense.

If you have a personal website, project website, or GitHub profile you may want to take this opportunity to add a link to your BlueSky profile there!

this is super cool and opens SvelteKit up to an entirely new class of applications. amazing work (and huge props to our UnJS friends for making it possible)

I miss the days when the worst malfeasance committed by the federal government was secretly building a second machine in the Sea of Japan.
