Looks like @kenthropic.com and @mikerourke.bsky.social are doing another meetup in Chicago next week! Don't miss out on any meetups and events by going to the Svelte Society events page: sveltesociety.dev/events

🏙️ Svelte Chicago is back! Join us Feb 24th at M1 Finance for our first meetup of 2026. 🔍 Job Search Panel: @mikerourke.bsky.social and I share our experiences alongside fellow devs and a hiring manager. 🍕 Plus lightning talks, pizza & networking! #Svelte #ChicagoTech guild.host/events/svelt...

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

☕️Svelte meetup in Barcelona next week! 🎄Mon Dec 22 🗓️ @sveltesociety.dev guild.host/svelte-barcelona

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... #svelte #jsjesus

Day 5 of Advent of Svelte 🎄 Boundaries help your app (and family) stay sane during the holiday season. youtu.be/Fhno5Ln1CwI?...

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! guild.host/events/svelt...

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! us.movember.com/mospace/1316...

🎉 Last Svelte Chicago meetup of 2025 – Nov 18th at PartySlate! Cleveland Pitts presents: Building Culturally Grounded AI with SvelteKit – The Harold Washington Ancestral Algorithm. Join us for pizza, drinks, and great conversations with the Chicago Svelte community 🍕 guild.host/events/svelt...

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...

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 👇 github.com/ggml-org/lla...

Am I the only one who found the options to this question confusing? None of these is consistent with the TS39 "Type Annotations" (aka "Types as Comments") proposal. Erasable types should be _ignored_ (like comments) at runtime. Also… please take the survey! 🚀 #JavaScript #TypeScript #StateOfJS

🎉 Just 3 days away! Join us Tuesday (Oct 28) at Svelte Chicago! RSVP 👇 🎤 @mikerourke.bsky.social will show how to build accessible Svelte apps – covering roving tabindex, focus traps & more. Thanks to @8thlight.bsky.social for hosting & @storyblok.com for sponsoring! 🙌 #Svelte #A11y #ChicagoTech

Had a blast hanging with Kev and the gang! We hit all the expected topics: baby goats, authoritarianism, rock climbing… and of course: Macrodata Refinement, finite state machines, Rethinking Reactivity, and Svelte > React. Give it a listen! #svelte

I hereby nerd-snipe @evbogue.com to create the Svelte hscrpt preprocessor. #svelte #chicago #hscrpt

⏰ Just 4 days until Svelte Chicago! Tuesday 5:30pm. Whether you're debugging something tricky or building something cool – or just want to meet other Svelte devs – we've got you covered. See you at 8th Light! guild.host/events/svelt... #svelte #chicago #javascript

🌠 Excited to see Svelte Chicago gaining momentum! From "Svelte-curious" to "Svelte-master" or just "free pizza and hanging with fellow nerds" … come join us next Tuesday! 👇

Doorbell rings, rapid knocking. Rush to the door to find Amazon package… but… ZERO sign of delivery person. Like… VANISHED 💨! Are they a NINJA 🥷?! ⬇️

"tearing-by-default" = me every time I see @rich-harris.dev and @adamrackis.bsky.social arguing on BlueSky 😢 #svelte #solidjs #react #rainbowsandunicorns

some thoughts about the bloat introduced by edge-case first libraries

A video and blog about animations in SvelteKit. Hope it's useful to you :) youtu.be/F2AvpvQjXtc shivan.xyz/posts/animat...

👋 Chicago frontend crowd – curious why Svelte keeps ranking #1 in "admired" and "positivity" in JS surveys year after year? It's the framework … AND the people 🫶. Come hang with us next Tuesday to see for yourself #Chicago #JavaScript #Svelte #React

3+ months since Svelte Summit … missing Spain … made Tortilla Española 🇪🇸. Not that difficult tbh (except maybe "the flip" 😅), and soooo worth it 😋. #SvelteSummit #Spain

Request for comments… The TSTFU Principle: 90% of coding in TypeScript is writing code that works. The other 90% is convincing the type checker to STFU. #TypeScript #DevLife #Svelte | CC: @gazit.me, @jyc.dev, @michaelaufreiter.com

Slime mold! Huzzah!

Fantastic post. The best take I've read on vibe coding. "The worst possible situation is to have a non-programmer vibe code a large project that they intend to maintain. This would be the equivalent of giving a credit card to a child without first explaining the concept of debt." #vibecoding

Svelte: come for the DX, stay for the @rich-harris.dev commit comedy 😂 #svelte #webdev github.com/sveltejs/kit...

Senators voting "yea" on the Big Beautiful Bill(ionaire Bonanza) and Rescissions Act (Ruthlessly Eliminating Compassionate Services) represent just 44% and 46% of US population respectively (GovTrack.us). Tragic to see such wanton harm to the US/world's most vulnerable through minority rule.

On its surface, this sounds like a glorious innovation. Alas, upon further reflection, I am troubled. These "remote functions" could arguably be called "severance barrier transgressors" – providing a direct innie/outie communication channel. Lumon views all such reintegration efforts as anathema. 𝍋

Where would MDR be without Svelte? Sputtering along on a "virtual DOM"?? Lumon expresses gratitude to @rich-harris.dev and the Svelte community for eliminating developer suffering. May more experience the joy of truly refined, un-severed web development. #svelte #severance #lumonislistening

PSA: "/" = slash/forward slash, "\" = backslash. Only one of these lives in URLs (irregardless of how many podcasters mis-speak this). Just look at the direction the character leans 📐 … you got this! 🤓

This talk by @theosteiner.de was truly exemplary. Theo's systematic approach replaces the Dread of imperative spaghetti code with Svelte's declarative Frolic. Praise Kier!

✨ Vibe coding FTW! ✨ While I regularly use LLMs to support my day-to-day dev work, I'd never used one to code something from scratch for a real scenario. Today presented the perfect use case: a one-off analysis of a large JSON document. See session for details: claude.ai/share/4f8d05... 🧵 1/2

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

Rich Harris' talk from this month's Svelte Summit is now freely available on our YouTube channel. The other videos will follow: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dAT...

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>

My satisfaction with the presentation by @kenthropic.com exceeds the designated threshold. I acknowledge and appreciate this. #SvelteSummit

people kept telling me my profile photo was very out of date. updated it to something more accurate

Leaving Barcelona with a whole bunch of new friends and wonderful memories. The #sveltesummit energy is special and unique. Feel very lucky to be part of it 🧡

Thank you for accepting our balloon offering, @rich-harris.dev. Per protocol, I've distributed the remaining units among trusted Svelte operatives to ensure continued morale enhancement. Please enjoy each balloon equally. #sveltesummit #severance

@kenthropic.com getting set up for his severance talk at Svelte Summit

Announcement: Lumon acquired Svelte Cc @rich-harris.dev @kenthropic.com

I’ve not even watch severance all the way through but the way @kenthropic.com is weaving this into his talk about animations in Svelte (at Svelte summit) and how it improves the user experience is top notch!

Thrilling talk from @kenthropic.com, Lumon has acquired Svelte! It's a must watch

Don't forget to get your virtual ticket if you want to watch the live stream on Thursday and Friday this week!
