ok regarding the Astro + Svelte server island thing I messed up the weather example, so I deleted it. Will redo tomorrow. The simpler composition (Astro Server Island + async Svelte but without props) indeed works as a Server Island. Code is in the "composition" toggle fubits.dev/svelte-async...

How do you call a political system in which a president encourages the justice system to prosecute the Open Society Foundations based on charges of support for terrorism? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

…not recommending it necessarily, but I recently noticed that it's way faster to build locally and then upload dev versions with `wrangler versions upload`. developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wran...

Finally started to deploy to Cloudflare Workers (using the Builders beta). These are the (free plan) metrics for a rather simple Astro + Svelte website (and just a minor blog post update) and I'm not too thrilled, tbh. Will evaluate the paid Workers plan next (5€).

Here it is

📊 LayerChart: CSS-only, simplified integration, Html primitives, and more! Massive `2.0.0-next.39` release brings: 🎨 CSS-only usage ↔️ Simplified integration (Skeleton, Svelte UX, daisyUI, …) ↪️ REPL compatibility 🏗️ HTML primitives 👆 Improved touch event handling 📦 …more! details ↓

PSA: Before Svelte 4 I was just grateful for Svelte (v3) enabling me to transition (post-Army) from a social-science-data-stuff degree to paid web development (kick-started by @11ty.dev). With Svelte 5 and this year‘s async + remote functions madness (what a sprint, eh!) I’m a 🧡 Svelte Ultra now.

I also want to shout out the amazing PRs that have been landing for fontless from @hiogawa.bsky.social 🔥 the next release is going to be a big one ❤️ github.com/unjs/fontain...

🗄️ modern-tar I just released a new zero dependency streaming tar parser and writer that is built with the browser-native Web Streams API! Please check it out! It's awesome 📼 github.com/ayuhito/mode...

In the next version of Storybook 1. Async Svelte components are supported 2. Mocking SvelteKit's $app/state module is (finally) supported

It's pretty wild that a low cost model like gpt-oss-20b is able to generate this one shot. That Svelte MCP Server must really be doing something great to its capabilities.

Can `gpt-oss-20b` write svelte 5 code? By itself? No. With the draft and unfinished version of the Official MCP server? Hell yes! 😍 We're gonna solve Svelte + AI for good! opencode.ai/s/Y9TgsXtM

Looks like Svelte Radio is back on the menu! 👀📻

Eight orgs involved in FOSS and package repos have asked for more support for package repos because of the skyrocketing costs for hosting everyone's code "In effect, public registries have become free global CDNs for commercial vendors." openssf.org/blog/2025/09...

We recently rewrote the Intro to Storybook tutorial for Svelte, to use Svelte 5 and Svelte CSF everywhere! If there are any Svelte experts out there that want to take it for a spin and give feedback on the techniques used, that would be greatly appreciated! 🙏 @sveltesociety.dev

Gosh, SvelteKit remote functions are so elegant. Less is more. TIL about query.current: svelte.dev/docs/kit/rem...

Answered some questions about Remote Functions and async Svelte! Best part of this video is that I said "async SSR landing in SvelteKit soon maybe" and it's already out now! We're shipping too fast right now

Heck yes - upgraded my 6,5 years old i9-9900K rig to 128GB RAM (for 150€!!!). I’m starting to get the feeling that I won’t get a new PC for at least another 5 years. Maybe a mainboard replacement because I can’t get 2 SSDs to work at the same time. (ignore the GPU - I’m about to „deshroud“ my 3090)

does anyone know why the `uv upgrade` story in Python is a bit stale? github.com/astral-sh/uv...

can we get some last-minute votes for this very important issue? github.com/web-platform... until it's fixed, none of us can safely use top-level `await` on the web

🚀❤️🦋 You can now embed posts in your Astro pages, with no client-side JS! Just pass it the post URL and it generates the right embed with static HTML and CSS. Works in both Astro and MDX pages. Supports embedded images, video, quoted posts, starter packs and more. And yes, it supports dark mode.

Hm the Bluesky Embed for Astro currently adds a 20-seconds penalty (blocking) in local dev - maybe something with the atproto api? Workaround: slap a server:defer on the component or wrap it with a fallback slot. Penalty remains (10 seconds) but it's non-blocking! docs.astro.build/en/guides/se...

Astro 🤝 Svelte

Ironic: Gartner had my post ridiculing Gartner removed. The one that shared Gartner's Magic Quadrant about AI Code Assistants, which does not include Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and ranks Amazon above Cursor. This one: github.blog/ai-and-ml/gi... Are they embarrassed to share their Magic Quadrant?

The work that the Svelte team is doing is, in my opinion, the most exciting thing in web dev. Not only is what they’re putting out transformative and so, so, so well designed, but they’ll announce some huge new thing coming out “in the future” and a week later, it’s in a patch release.

We’ve seen QR codes in scams before, but those relied on people scanning them. @socket.dev's new discovery shows malware using QR codes to talk to its C2 server — traffic that to security tools looks like harmless image exchanges. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit... #malware #opensource #npm

Looking for a contractor that can help out with content moderation on the new Svelte Society website. It will mostly involve migrating old content and making sure submissions are accepted in a timely fashion. Would be perfect for a student or someone that is Sveltecurious and learning web dev.

To the surprise of no-one, async Svelte of course works in @astro.build islands as well! I just published a note with today's learnings and links to the lab: fubits.dev/notes/svelte...

(please understand that I'm *genuinely* excited) I'm realllyyyyy hooked to the new Svelte / SvelteKit magic now. Here are some bonus examples that were enabled with [email protected] My 🏔️ so far: async svelte + remote function + snippet + inline rendering with {@html}. lab.fubits.dev/async/bonus

This is great news! GitHub will require use of passkeys for 2FA when publishing to NPM. What a huge step up in security compared to other phishable 2FA methods that were historically supported 🎉 github.blog/security/sup...

Finally had time to look into async Svelte in more depth. Took me a bit to understand the examples in the docs, so I wrote boilerplate code for myself and thought it'd be helpful to others. Here's my exploration for v1 - client-side async: lab.fubits.dev/async REPLs are linked in the examples 🫡

So if you’re a freelance in Germany, and you paid too much VAT* in advance in the previous year, you’ll eventually get it back… BUT this will count as income and you’ll have to pay income tax on whatever has been returned to you.

Having spent a decade working for/with Think Tanks and NGOs all I can do is just stress how urgent it *would* be to read this report and to translate it into actions ASAP.

Just a reminder that tech is political and putting your money into projects run by problematic people says quite a lot.

So far I've received 11 submissions for this year's #HTMHellAdventCalendar. They look fantastic, but, you know, I need at least 24. You can write about anything you want related to HTML. There's no “too basic”; we need more fundamental HTML knowledge out there because we suck at the basics. 1/2

Heads up, #svelte #sveltekit folks: `form()` remote functions got more powerful in sveltekit 2.42.0: it now accepts a schema, and reports back any validation issues. This is not optional, so if you're using `formData` in your `form` functions, you have to add a schema now. github.com/sveltejs/kit...

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! github.com/sveltejs/kit...

I thought about things that have happened in CSS in 2025 and what I think you should probably know. Then I blogged it. frontendmasters.com/blog/what-yo... It's not *everything* — it's my own curated list.

This paper is very good and all the think tankers and foundation people (especially leadership and Comms) should take it to heart. It also makes me feel very tired
