Currently going through Whimsical Animations in my free-time. If you have the interest and means to buy it, I 100% recommend it. I don't believe that AI can teach you with this kind of depth + simplicity. If it seems like it can, well, it's probably just regurgitating courses like this one.

This is a piece of code written by Sonnet 4.5 in my actual app 😄 We needed onclick={activate()} Instead we got a polling system filled with as anys lol. This is with Playwright mcp, svelte 5 mcp, ultrathink, telling it my grandma was in danger if it did it wrong; this is the outcome lol.

It seems like Cloudflare Workers are much cheaper than Vercel for hosting something like a SvelteKit app. Am I missing something? - Vercel is $20/m for 10m requests - Workers are $5/m for 10m request, not including static assets.

Cleaned up some initial load performance issues on one of my side projects. Thought these two charts were pretty interesting in retrospective. Light chart is traffic, dark chart is data transfer. - Even though traffic kept increasing, data transfer dropped from 13GB to 500MB. timer.flotes.app

vim.lsp.config has fixed so many issues I've been having in Neovim. - Svelte LS crashes on large svelte projects - Autocomplete suggestions are duplicated - ts_ls doesn't attach to .ts buffers at all - svelte files don't recognize changes to ts files

Not perfect, but reduced the resources loaded on start by one of my svelte apps from 12.4MB to 1.5MB. Something like an 88% reduction in size. timer.flotes.app

I'm using Neovim & Copilot CLI. How do others run multiple agents at a time? Any attempt to run more than 1 and they both start running npm run dev and playwright against each other in an infinite loop. I can even say "Don't use the default port", no luck lol.

I'm having a bunch of little issues pop up in my Neovim lately. - Svelte: I constantly have to restart the LSP for various reasons. Indentation stops working, duplicated references in auto complete, svelte/kit types aren't recognized. - Ghost text for things like copilot.lua break auto pairs.

I'm looking for my next opportunity in the front-end space 🌐 I've worked at some great companies: Hugging Face, V7, Appwrite, and Significa. I've built NPM packages with 400k downloads/week, and am an avid open-source contributor. Let me know if you want to work together!

"Property '"~standard"' is missing in type 'ObjectSchema' For anyone else that runs into a valid schema and svelte kit remote function failing with this error: My valibot version was old 🥲. May you save 30 minutes of your life not diddling your config and running :LspRestart 🫡

Anyone using Svelte + Neovim want to share their dots / config? 🙂 I've been using both for a long time, but recently the LazyVim extra for Svelte crashes the svelte-language-server on big svelte projects. I can't get ts file changes to show in svelte files without LspRestart. 🥲

Does FiniteStateMachine from Svelte Runed library have the ability to handle nesting similar to X-State? I was trying different ways but couldn't figure it out or find any examples. Runed: runed.dev/docs/utiliti... X-State Example: github.com/statelyai/xs...

First time writing Svelte Kit Remote Functions. Used commands for cookie updates to save ssr layouts/preferences. Sheeeesh, remote functions kick ass. The code is so much nicer now.

If you had a setting page in written Svelte / Svelte-Kit. No save button, every change event on a select, checkbox, etc... saves to the server. Do you use a form remote function with a form element, or omit the form element and use a command remote function?

Recently switched from Harpoon2 to Grapple.nvim. Insanely good plugin. I think Harpoon is so well known that people don't look at alternatives. Definitely worth the switch IMO and even has a harpoon-to-grapple config example in the readme. github.com/cbochs/grapp... #NeoVim #Vim

tonsky.me/blog/syntax-... by @tonsky.me Looking at the first color.js example, the idea made sense, but I was still like ehhh IDK. By the end of reading the article, the playSound example highlighting really had me convinced on a lot of ideas here. - Great read :)

How is anyone running agents in large monorepos with success? - Even if there is some tool that uses multiple contexts, isn't each context missing the big picture? I constantly crash to the point it's not even worth it to attempt. "prompt token count of 308154 exceeds the limit of 128000"

I'm using Neovim+CodeCompanion+Copilot. After a few months of this, I'm wondering. Is it just my experience based on my tools, or is the constant flickering of ghost text not annoying to others?

flotes.app now loads significantly faster. On the technical side, this uses a PWA + IDB to mirror data specific to the user. While some data uses a stale-revalidate strategy, notes utilize timestamps to verify if they need synced. This significantly reduces bandwidth usage from large markdown.

You can now view/navigate backlinks in a graph in flotes.app. Typing [[ now searches across all notes (and notebooks). On a technical side, this uses force-graph. Super easy to use and works via HTML 5 Canvas & d3-force. The backlink renderer is CodeMirror v6 autocomplete. #svelte #d3

How does one provide detailed instructions and extensive context to AI for coding, if after a month of providing detailed instructions and extensive context, the AI has written all of the parts of the code that you want now want to extend, by providing detailed instructions and extensive context?

The older I get the more I prefer imperative code in event listeners and life cycle hooks over things like effects or rx libraries. This is the type of opinion where people go "wow this guy is a ding dong". But, I can't help it. The heart wants what the heart wants.

Multiply the number of lines of code in your side projects using a framework by the number of young children you have by the number of additional hobbies you have. The higher the number, the more difficult to keep up with the changes to that framework. My score for Svelte is well over 200,000 🤣

The more I code with AI. The more I realize, I don't really care about being fast.

Anyone writing Svelte with Ollama models? I feel like there should a Svelte 5 llms.txt *mini* lol. Smaller local models like gpt-oss:20b say they have a context of 128k tokens. But, it definitely seems like even the small llms.txt gets truncated. Their reasoning when given the file is way off

Ollama is really fun to use. So satisfying seeing my desktop's GPU run when I ask a model a question from code-companion.nvim on my Macbook.

Question for those using Svelte-Kit and Vercel - How do you co-locate your DB near your frontend? - How do you deal with load functions and cold starts? (Aside from pro plan). - Async in universal load blocks nav. But streaming requires server load functions, which may cold start, blocking nav.

So much has changed 🥲. Yet still so many improvements to make 😅.

Does anyone have recommendations for articles, videos, etc... on Svelte-Kit load + client side caching? I have a hard time wrapping my head around using something like load functions and IndexDB. Since load may happen on the server without having the context of whats cached on the client.

If you use better commits, consider sharing your config and an example commit for testing :) github.com/Everduin94/b...

Question for my Svelte wizards. (1/2) Context I have code where my state is managed by a cookie and a form action (a button). This way, when I refresh, I SSR the state I want. On Vercel free tier (project over 1mb, no edge) this puts a delay on my button, and on a slow network, a long delay...

Remember when vibe coding meant listening to lofi bootleg boy with a cup of pour over coffee writing svelte? www.youtube.com/watch?v=617L...

I'm in a software dev funk. I'm really starting to just not enjoy it. I spent 2 days rebuilding my stairs. - Challenging, rewarding, safer for my kids. I spent 4 months of nights refactoring my long-running svelte project. Tedious, exhausting, and the outcome leaves something to be desired.

The more I *try* to use AI for programming, the more I feel like I'm apart of some global hoodwink lol.

If all I need I want out of a PWA is the most basic install this on my phone with these icons and background color. - Is switching from @vite-pwa/sveltekit to svelte-kit service workers (svelte.dev/docs/kit/ser...) ideal? I am very, very, very.... very, tired of @vite-pwa/sveltekit 🫠

When running a heap snapshot in a Svelte 5 application. What are detached comments? And why are they so... big? Is this something that's unavoidable? Or a product of making a mistake somewhere?

Any Svelte / JS wizards have tips for finding memory leaks in a Svelte 5 application? Transitioning between routes leaks some crazy amount of memory. I'm cleaning up Web workers, timeouts, event listeners, etc... I can even remove the majority of code between 2 routes and still leak badly.

The Day 24 Advent of Svelte 5 CLSX feature + Tailwind is just so dang good. svelte.dev/docs/svelte/...

Refactoring my largest (and oldest) Svelte app to Svelte 5. After using Svelte 5 in small app since pre-release Using global state. The dance between ownership_invalid_mutation, refactoring to use context, and then getting hit by lifecycle_outside_component, is painful. svelte.dev/playground/4...

Cool little Vim / Neovim trick 👀. - You can `gf` jump to code files from markdown. So if my notes are placed in the same folder as my code. - Folder.svelte - folder-docs.md > "My notes about `Folder.svelte`" Cursor over Folder.svelte and type `gf` to jump to the file. 🔵🟢 #vim #neovim

Anyone writing Svelte and Local-First? It seems like more of a trade-off than I expected. Local-first and SSR together are complicated. It seems easiest to use ssr=false. Using zero-svelte. Queries return all data. Not just what changed. Complicating fine-grain reactivity.

Sometimes side-project success is more about keeping calm than it is actual coding 😂😅😭 Wake up at 5:30 before baby - missing docker on desktop - pacman -S docker - fails. pacman -Syu - run docker. fails. ip_tables error - restart - can't connect to postgres - network only supports ipv4 - ...

Am I missing something in Svelte 5? Classes seem to be the de facto way to handle global state / svelte.js files. Inspect prints a blank object. JSON.stringify renders a blank object. I understand why. Private properties. But, isn't this a significant issue? svelte.dev/playground/6...

TIL you can get today's date as various formats in postgres with to_char and current_date. - Definitely helped me simplify some postgres functions I was writing. It uses the default time zone of the database session. Alternatively you can use now() for specific time zones. 🟢 #supabase 🔵 #sql

Something I enjoy about Supabase. Almost everything you do in the UI can be displayed as plain SQL. So you can easily create something in the UI, that might be advanced in SQL. Cascades, indexes, constraints, rls, etc Then read the resulting SQL to learn how that stuff works. 🟢 #supabase 🔵 #sql

Pretty convenient svelte form tip use:enhance + requestSubmit() you can fire a form action *on change* without refreshing the page or losing focus. Nice for stuff like themes where you need to handle the cookie server-side. 🟠 #svelte
