Don't forget to spread the love and huge thanks to everyone who works on this!

Fine-grained everything <p>Modern frameworks like Svelte are fast thanks to signal‑based fine‑grained reactivity, but performance is more than 60fps. This talk covers new approaches to build fast, reliable, data‑efficient ap...

A couple of weeks ago at @perfnow.nl I gave a talk called "Fine-grained everything". It's about @svelte.dev (obviously), and the new frontiers of framework-land, but it's also about some stubborn misconceptions in web performance circles

hm, not sure I follow - how does the number of versions a project _could_ download influence the cumulative number of downloads for that major?

Downloads by Major (or Minor) Reveal problems users are having with upgrading to the next major (or minor). Search for a package to see if its ecosystem has an upgrading problem.

Turns out being a new father drastically reduces the time/energy for blogging and open source 😄

But still keeping an eye on new Svelte stuff and hoping to get back in the game sometime

yep - it's been a few years, but when I was there it was being used for various microfrontends being broken off of the .NET monolith

SvelteKit async SSR has landed! The future of Svelte is now here. Try it out along with the new remote functions!

See the PR for some unfinished rough edges. Work continues on it while it's behind an experimental flag, but you can now play around with it!

Async SSR · sveltejs svelte · Discussion #16784 The Svelte team has been hard at work on asynchronous rendering, with client-side support and remote functions as our first two efforts. It’s time for the third: SSR. Background There are three cor...

Super excited to announce the experimental release of asynchronous SSR in Svelte! github.com/sveltejs/sve...

`await` expressions in your Svelte components can now be rendered on the server, meaning you don't need to render them inside boundaries with a `pending` snippet. Next up, streaming SSR!

Won a hackathon at work and was rewarded with this amazing/terrifying custom bobblehead 😶

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>

I love the little elephant pilot so much youtu.be/j_wy7ydUdE4

Unfortunately for baby, I will be taking all the credit

just submitted my first PR fully written while wearing a baby ✅

The nice thing about an outage is that you find out if people are actually using it 😄

Looks like this resolved itself (at least it works for me now). I suspect some sort of downstream issue with the Marvel API.

Some personal news — I’m a dad now. Feeling very grateful and very tired.
