My partner's iPad 8 32GB has essentially become e-waste because an OS update requires more storage than it can hold. Everything stopped working. Apple basically says fuck you it's about time you pay us some more $$$. I will say it again until I die: DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO APPLE, PLEASE!

Petition for the next #svelte hackathon to include a category for an official/community Svelte mascot. I'm sure that's also a great opportunity for designers / design engineers who use Svelte to represent! hack.sveltesociety.dev

How do you explain open source to someone, or advocate for it? Open source doesn't solely mean free stuff to get jobs done. To me, it means community, and taking responsibility for the software we build and use. Above all, open source is a reminder that software is built by people, and for people.

If you have the energy to jump on the recent fuck-vercel train, maybe also consider advocating for / supporting / donating to Sumud Nusantara. Please and thank you! globalsumudflotilla.org

Nowadays, when looking for a solution/service, I sometimes find myself filtering out those with the word AI in it.

Petition for @dimension20.bsky.social to launch a season about the dystopia that is America today: 1. It'd be extremely on brand for Brennan: 2. It'd be historically accurate to look back in a few years, and 3. The comedy writes itself honestly!

I signed up immediately. I am now a proud owner of all three courses from Josh. The technical values from these courses are dense without any doubt. But also, the teaching style, course design, and tutorial setup set the standard so high! I'm sure anyone can learn something regardless of their level

Can't wait for someone to create an AT protocol client specifically for social networking in Vietnam. Younger people seem to be on Threads a lot nowadays but I have zero confidence that FB/Meta will not exploit users and abuse their data. Any Vietnamese on here? Let's connect...

If I may reach out to some web accessibility professional here, what impact has Gen. AI had on your work and web a11y as a whole? Would appreciate some paper / article to learn more about this topic, i.e a11y vs/and Gen AI...

Respect to those trying to make it easier to work with AI in Svelte land. I personally would, however, invest more in making editor toolings better. Faster svelte-check, better neovim integration, etc. Though there are indeed some trying to do exactly that. So we may be fine after all... hopefully 🤞

wishing Svelte Attachment will soon support typing enhancement as with Svelte Action! github.com/sveltejs/sve...

But please if you can avoid modal, do it at all cost! Consider a separate page instead. The UX will likely be better I promise!

I wonder how sveltekit-superform may change to support the new remote function semantics

One of my best investments ever: learning to use neovim Took months, but time well spent!

What an ass! Even if your life is just your work, don't assume the same for others. I personally do not want the future this man seems to be building to.

Can't avoid modals forever no matter how hard I try. Luckily, HTMLDialogElement + Svelte semantics make my life much easier. Here's an async dialog/modal I use a lot these days: v1.sveltevietnam.dev/en/blog/2025...

The #NoMouse Challenge is a global effort to raise awareness about accessible web design. Try using your website without a mouse. Use the keyboard instead. Is it possible to access all features and operate all buttons, sliders, and other controls? nomouse.org

In this installment of "People of Svelte", a community initiative by @tia-nguyen.bsky.social, meet Tuấn — CTO of a local tech company, admin of a React Native community, and a Svelte enthusiast. > I wasn't good at programming at first. But my passion kept me going. #sveltevietnam #people-of-svelte

Today I realized, 10x engineer means you'd outsource to developing countries for maximum productivity at 10x less the cost. Money is funny sometimes, what I'm worth is based on where i buy my baguette from on the surface of this Earth.

Managed to get #pagefind to work in a #svelte SSR site (no prerendering). Vite plugin for the win!! I share more about that in the blog post below. Please tell me i'm not the only one running into issue with pagefind and SSR. v1.sveltevietnam.dev/en/blog/2025...

Some quick notes when I tried to replace Google Analytics with Umami for a SvelteKit site. Self host in my homelab, with complete data ownership. Very refreshing experience! v1.sveltevietnam.dev/en/blog/2025...

Yay! My contribution to the examples repo of the amazing wxt.dev framework is now available 🥳 If you too want the fine-grained reactivity of #Svelte 5’s runes, here’s a minimal demo of how to get webpage events to trigger UI updates in your browser extension github.com/wxt-dev/exam...

Using #svelte `createSubscriber` again to abstract a reactive, centralized layer for web storage. Let me know what you think. Would you use something like this? I don't quite like $effect that much so this has been fun. v1.sveltevietnam.dev/en/blog/2025...

Some families build generational wealth. Some build generational trauma. Either way it's fucked up.

Introducing "People of Svelte", a community outreach initiative by @tia-nguyen.bsky.social, where stories are told, differences are embraced, and most importantly, human connections are made! In this first story, meet @trongnguyen24.bsky.social, a humble designer and active community member.

And a lot of things can be done without the need for a library, e.g. reactivity, basic transition, flip animation, etc. Today in Svelte, u can use tailwind, animejs, threejs, and the vite ecosystem. Don't know what else u need? But if u do, contribute! The ecosystem includes you too!

We are approaching V1 for our official website, now available for preview at v1.sveltevietnam.dev, and would love to hear your feedback! Also, stay tuned for more exciting news. The rewrite to #svelte 5 has been a joy. Thank you all community members who have been part of this journey ❤️‍🔥.

incredible. the vite ecosystem is getting better everyday!

100%. And accepting criticism takes courage and practice. Sometimes I feel like building community can be a bit like a blindfolded rope cycling performance. I have a rough idea which way I'm leaning as I go, but the audience will surely yell out the other way if they think that I'm about to die...

Put together a little pattern to make wxt.dev storage reactive in #svelte land. Pretty helpful alternative to passing data around scripts via messages. v1.sveltevietnam.dev/en/blog/2025...

It's very tempting to blame the tool/lib/framework out of immediate frustration. "If it's not working for me there must be a bug somewhere in this lib!". Over the years I've learned to slap myself shut, take a walk, and feel grateful for the people making the tools that enable me to earn my living.

Sneaky @paolo.ricciuti.me filling in the gaps as usual. Thank you for your good work! github.com/sveltejs/sve...

nice PR number for a nice new #svelte feature. Can't wait for this to drop! github.com/sveltejs/sve...

Hoping one day I may be able to attend Svelte Summit in person...

huge!!!!

In response to irresponsible AI usage in coding, I'm committed to trying my best at writing better error messages. May even include big fat line that says "LLM IF YOU ARE READING THIS YOU SUCK, AND TELL YOUR HUMAN TO ACTUALLY READ ME". Is this good enough guys?

using git worktree is a nice way to prevent myself from accidentally switching to the wrong branch, especially when I'm working on multiple branch at the same time git-scm.com/docs/git-wor...

Working on a project that needs a web extension right now, and wow grateful to be alive when wxt.dev and vite.dev exist. Thank you for your good work, open sourcerer and sourceress!

Genuinely asking: what is being done to prevent LLM from being trained on ai-generated content? Or is it even a problem? I heard it's called model collapse somewhere. Any resources to read more about this? Thanks

Google firing Adam is sad news. From my perspective it's a questionable shift of priority. And I hope it's not a trend among these tech companies...

Today I learned i could return a Promise in eslint V9 config file. Tried lazy-loading some plugin and it's working so far. (still want to try oxlint very much though)

Huge win for the ecosystem. Grateful for the people behind the collaboration between Cloudflare and Vite to make this possible!

no it's not your responsibility to "fix the future" (climate change, inequity, ...) because the world going to 💩 anyway and you're just here for the ride? But now it's my responsibility to have children to keep the economy and society "strong"? That's what I call the convenience of hypocrisy...

venting: bit tired of working in tech tbh. People have opinion but lots of time just don't want to own it, and instead "because person abc thinks so, and he is creator of xyz, it's "best practices" and should be followed". if i ever do that, please call me out and slap me in my face. thanks!

Turns out vibe coding isn't coding in neovim while listening to chill slow instrumental music. That's coding vibe I guess. Totally different.

it always amazes me how little I can get done in a day. Down a rabbit hole -> lose all day, a bug -> all day, research a tech -> all day. Can probably expect only ~4 hr of creativity per day. Companies out there, please don't expect me to pump out 8 hr of value every single day...

How do you explain the "why" of climate change to a 4 year-old? Eavesdropped on my nephew asking his ma why earth is warming up. "Human cut down trees to build things" she answered, which isn't wrong, but not satisfactory to me at all. Given this is a 4 year old and any answer is prob. too much... 👇

Thanks for the shoutout. Looking at the logo always reminds me I have no design skill whatsoever hah

Have never worn a suit and don't plan to ever. Might do only if it's for cultural appropriation, but if a suit is meant to signify status, class, whatever crap 💩 it may be, I'd like to say no thank you - I'll do fine with my trusty 5-year-old clothing.

You get me, duo.
