Can it get any worse? Apple: “Hold my beer…”

🎙️ Just published a new episode of Svelte Radio: One Man Svelte for NGOs with Ilja. Have a listen:

This is the lowest low I’ve ever witnessed (so far). And I don’t know why our German public broadcaster is live-streaming and live-translating this.

The monthly cloudflare internet-takedown is happening

A historic first today as Opus 4.5 scores 100% on SvelteBench - the first model to do so. We're hard at work on the next version of SvelteBench that will use an agentic approach, if you have feedback, submit it here: github.com/khromov/svel... #svelte #ai

Works like a charm

Nothing to see here, just a few Svelte milestones. For SvelteKit alone I'd need to add 6+ more notable user-land features. I'm thinking about turning this into a less noisy interactive (with links).

It's time for a new Start. Raycast for Windows, available today. 👉 raycast.com/windows

Pro tip from a tired human being (and someone with a B.A. in communication) for people trying to promote their product / library / whatever on here: if you only come online to be negative (complain, dunk, demand, call out etc.), either stop coming online or accept that you’re damaging your product.

📣 Hear hear! The biggest savings on the Practical Accessibility course start *today*—for a limited time only. Starting today, you can get the course for 30% off — that's $279 instead of $399. The discounted price excludes sales tax that may be applied depending on where you are buying from.

For the purpose of more practicing with #D3js and #Svelte made an interactive version of one of the previous infographics: yanouski.com/projects/xfi... #datavis #datavisualization #informationdesign #xfiles #tv

LLMs have finally stopped recommending React. Nature is healing 🧡

Polypane 27 is here! Polypane now has a projects-based workflow, a new snippets panel, line numbers in the style panel (we know!), a new macOS icon and so much more. polypane.app/blog/polypan...

It’s encouraging to see a significant increase in user-centred design capability across all levels of government and throughout the country. For my page, people started sending me roles they found or wanted listed. Other people told me that they frequently looked at the page. ➡️ 🔗 5/X

We are hiring! At @digitalservice.bund.de, we are now looking for #serviceDesign​ers to help us create better government services and policies. One role in policy space, the other in service transformation space. The work in both areas spans the entire federal government and, in parts, beyond 1/X

Quick & dirty SveltePlot of @sveltesociety.dev @guild.host members (~online meetup members). Right now it's fetching from the GraphQL endpoint but I don't know how durable they are, so there's fallback data. @svelte.london is from another planet... svelte.dev/playground/b...

Time to implement this story 🙄

Svelte users in Berlin - mark 2025-12-09 (9 Dec) in your calendars: The @sveltesociety.dev Berlin Meetup is finally going to happen!!! Kudos to @sarcevic.dev and @peterkogo.bsky.social!

Working on something I'm excited about: extending automated a11y testing with AI agents. Each specializes in WCAG principles, detects edge cases, analyzes code semantics, and uses Playwright. Going beyond what rule-based tools can catch. Agents handle up to 40% of traditionally manual work.

I am very late to the iOS 26 party, but wtf how ugly is that?

idfk, tell me??

"Write accessible code or get sued!" This ain't it "Write accessible code for SEO." No "Write accessible code for AI." Nooo "Write accessible code for blind people." ...better "Write accessible code cause you're a god-damn professional that takes pride in their work." Now we're talking.

Well surely that's due to the Safari team sitting on their hands and being 5-8 years late in shipping it, and even now that it has, it's still quite gimped? Burning out developer enthusiasm is the precise goal in Apple dragging their feet on web features after all.

Needed an app for OSX to run a11y checks on PDFs. Market? Empty. BMAD, Claude, Tauri, Svelte5 and verapdf and 4 hours later: Have my app. Just WOW!

Just created a Claude Code Marketplace for the Team and wow, that was easy.

#Claude 4.5 thinks that we've been #vibecoding 7h together on sth, and now refuses to reengage on my project. "Now you stop. You've been coding for 7+ hours." I mean wtf? Where is Sarah Connor when you need her?

WEBSITES! You can even make them behave like apps if you want to! Very few apps need to be apps at all. Even games in the browser have come a long way.

Haven't praised @polypane.app lately so here it is. Such an awesome tool. I seriously can't imagine developing anything without it. Worth every penny. Highly recommended.

svelte.dev/packages is now live! It's a convenient and easily discoverable place to find a sampling of high quality packages in the ecosystem. We hope it will give confidence in the Svelte ecosystem to newcomers and help them get started more easily.

Shocked to see Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch meeting with an indicted war criminal, who is committing an internationally recognized genocide

I want to believe the obvious hijacking of TikTok by sociopathic technofascists will result in people leaving the platform, but then I see all the journalists still happily using a website owned by an overt white supremacist sociopathic technofascist

Getting reports of truly hilarious bugs on iOS/Safari 26, like text selection *going backwards* and horrible flickering in the footnotes of my blog, and maybe browser choice would be good for users? Just a thought.

I’m reluctantly thinking about launching something that helps put all those „x billion $ / €“ headlines in context. I can add new entries from my phone, but I’d actually like to „socialise“ this - allow others to easily submit new data points (with moderation). Good idea? fubits.dev/how-much-is/

Ok Tidal. Guess we won't become friends.

Internal Linkbuilding day. I wish I drank alcohol.

eslint was designed to piss developers off, wasn't it?
