We could say svelte is the winner because it's compatible with the whole js ecosystem without having to write adapters for it, it's kind of a pointless debate. Talent can also pick up svelte faster even if coming from react or other frameworks. You gotta remember react wasn't always number one.
Ooh I totally thought it worked the other way around 😓 hahah ty!
I didn't know about pathname till now. Are they different in the sense RouteId are all the routes of your app and Pathname all paths? I guess depending on your need you should use one or another, but for sure I would use it as a type instead of a string just for quick autocomplete and errors
Oh, not sure if it's better but I just did
import type { RouteId } from '$app/types'
and made href: RouteId instead of string
this works with resolve(href) and it doesn't let you use unavailable routes, also has autocomplete and if you delete a route you'll get errors where it was used!
And they say you can't do everything with Svelte...dunno it seems pretty capable U_U
I'm gonna replace all my git usage with this. lol
Discord? Are we really putting ads on top of the app fr? I get this is free pretty much for everyone but damn...
I really like the Tsoding video, it’s amazing to see an experienced programmer outside the web world reacting to the svelte docs. You can see the good and the bad. Although, I think the current docs are really best suited for people who already have a web background.

Btw, you can still use plain JS in the <script> tag, call document.getElementById or anything else to update the DOM manually. But imo, svelte just improves the DX by handling updates automatically for you.

If you check out this example, look at the JS output, not just the result. This shows the fine-grained reactivity Svelte gives you: the compiler generates JS that knows exactly what to update on the page, so you don’t have to do it manually.
You wrap a variable with runes so svelte can track it reactively, like a computed value: let double = $derived(count * 2). The main benefit is that it automatically updates anything that depends on it like the UI without you having to touch the DOM yourself. Runes are a small DSL for the compiler.
Thank god I'm learning graphics APIs with SDL3 and not Vulkan, my brain hurts lmao

not an april fools joke: svelte is no longer just a web framework (or rather, won't be once we merge @paolo.ricciuti.me's magnum opus). have seen some extremely cool demos of this
Svelte is taking a leap towards supporting other rendering targets besides the DOM like terminals and native mobile apps
I can't wait for this! Awesome work!!!
I'm looking into #atproto and seems pretty interesting. I wonder about lexicons that aren't widely spread. Like you could do a bookmark app where you collect all bookmarks around different apps and organize them but that would require all apps to use the same format or use their custom one, right?
I feel like tauri 2.0 really got much better up to the point I would consider going for it instead of capacitor, but there are some posts on svelte's reddit with capacitor that say it has great DX and it's full of features. I would test both for performance and ergonomics tbh.
oh I didn't see this, I basically said the same + use the modulo operator (%) for wrapping back to 0 hahah
This is a bit more concise and uses derived runes, also % modulo operator can handle wrapping around back to 0 easily svelte.dev/playground/9...
afaik people avoid svelte native entirely right now, everytime I looked into it, they seem to choose capacitor/tauri instead. I'm kind of waiting for this svelte-custom-renderers.com but it's not ready atm
Zero to 1.0
After two years of work, 50+ releases, thousands of commits, and hundreds of bugfixes, we are officially declaring Zero stable and ready for production workloads.

this is really good and you should watch it! and i'm not just saying that because me and a bunch of my friends are in it
