I did not realise that the documentation for Svelte @attach amounts to a whole page now!
Wanted to do a quick skim and now I can’t stop exploring… svelte.dev/docs/svelte/...
And ICYMI: day 3 of Advent of Svelte 2025 has a quick intro to attach by @kenthropic.com advent.sveltesociety.dev/2025/3
Love this one! Great intro, great demo. Just take care that the MCP doesn't give HAL conflicting directives 🤖🤪
Agree they're hard to get right.
Rich + Svelte core team clearly agree as well. The remote functions API & architecture are designed with security footgun-avoidance in mind: explicit file boundaries + existing server-only module protection.
Humility → simplicity.
Hard ≠ impossible.
🤔 different strokes – hope you find the solution that's right for you!
> Yes, I've been using Svelte since v3 was released in 2019.
Respect – you've got me beat by 2 years! 🙇♂️
The #JustUseSvelteAlready was aimed at the broader audience vs. you specifically.
Query and Table seem most relevant for Svelte. Router/Start less so given SvelteKit's capabilities – especially with latest enhancements and direction (remote functions).
Curious if there's a reason you'd prefer Router/Start over SvelteKit?
Also check out this recent episode of Syntax with Tanner. syntax.fm/show/954/ful...
Screenshot of TanStack Query documentation website showing the framework selector dropdown with Svelte selected and checked, alongside other framework options including React, Vue, Angular, and Solid. The page displays the overview section for @tanstack/svelte-query package with code example.
You mean like this 🧐?

Bearded prophet Rich Harris wandering among the animals, bringing tidings of async components.
This will be a sign unto you. A bearded prophet, wandering among the deer and the lambs, bringing tidings of great joy, which will be for all the people – all who are willing to venture forth. And suddenly, there was with the prophet a quintet of angels… youtube.com/shorts/Wu3kc...

I have not ... aber jetzt möchte ich es mir mal anhören!
Stark – congrats on getting this underway! I hope I can visit sometime. (And… please join a Svelte Chicago event if you're ever in town.)
Great, now everyone in the blue svelte sky knows about my "Low-Bar Lightning Talk™" 🤣
Good reminder for Svelte Chicago folks – see you in 2 hours!

Things you can count on in November in Chicago (from worst to best): leaf cleanup in the dark at 4:30p, finding a random Jackson in the coat you haven't worn since March, and a Movember email from Virgil 👨🏻. Worthy cause!

3/3 Glad you're enjoying Runed FSM! I didn't work on this version directly, but provided some inspiration with my svelte-fsm library (Svelte 3/4 store-based API). You have @gazit.me to thank for Runed FSM implementation 😄.
2/3 If you need the FSM (and shared context) to be available from more than one component, extract it to a svelte.ts module and export the FSM and shared state from there.
For example:
github.com/kenkunz/svel...
1/3 I've generally found that context doesn't need to be built into the FSM API itself. Your "surrounding context" (enclosing lexical scope) is your context – the FSM has access to whatever is defined there.
I know it already made its rounds on Reddit and HN but from all the products / brands adopting Svelte, llama.cpp migrating the WebUI from React to SvelteKit is like the ultimate testimonial github.com/ggml-org/lla...
Runed FSM (like its predecessor svelte-fsm) does not support parent/child states. I've considered adding this, but (a) haven't had bandwidth, and (b) have been hesitant without seeing more use case examples (w/in a Svelte app context).
Can you share more about your use case?
Wait… you found Svelte 2.x code?!
😜
Mad props to @allozaur.bsky.social for leading dev on the new llama.cpp WebUI and championing Svelte/SvelteKit for the project! Also kudos to @hf.co for sponsoring this open source work 💪 #Svelte #SvelteKit #OpenSource #HuggingFace

While the Svelte community was buzzing about Apple's App Store leak, here's the real gem: llama.cpp's new official WebUI – built with Svelte/SvelteKit! Run any of 150k+ GGUF models with a gorgeous interface. Fully local, fully open source 🚀 #Svelte #SvelteKit #LlamaCpp 👇
