Our online meetup starts in 30 min! Come tune in 👋

Tomorrow 🔥

Come join us for an online meetup this Tuesday!

You are old if you know what `align="absmiddle"` does.

Astro and Hugo are still neck and neck.

Stack Overflow or stack overflow 🤔 CVE-2025-50537

I’ll be speaking at the upcoming Build-Time Render meetup! The online event is on February 3 at 5 p.m. EST. If you're thinking about using @sveltiacms.app for your project, this is a great way to get to know it. See you in two weeks!

People are migrating from Decap CMS to Sveltia CMS literally every day. Our showcase now features 60 sites from 25 countries. Take a look and find inspiration for your next project!

You gotta update the copyright year.

So @astro.build is pretty much popular these days. No Next.js. No Gatsby.

Our GitHub repository has hit 2,000 stars! Thank you for your support and enthusiasm 🎉

I’ve never trusted the quality of Apple products. Just bought a new MacBook Pro. The migration from Time Machine failed, so I had to do it again. Then, the Bluetooth device detection failed, so I had to disable FileVault to resolve the issue.

I’m searching code on GitHub to discover who’s using @sveltiacms.app. Just wow. It’s beta software. It’s a personal project. Yet, many people are already using it in production. Sneak peek: Sveltia CMS Showcase 👀

This is my browsing experience. Many React sites crash because cookies are disabled by default in my Firefox. This is why I want to eliminate React from the planet.

We’re working on a brand-new documentation site! Still in early stages, but get a sneak peek and let us know what you think!

The term Ajax came up during a conversation about fetch. We don’t use it anymore, but it changed the way we build web apps forever. Btw, this Wikipedia article is wrong. The pronunciation is /ˈaːjɑks/ not /ˈeɪdʒæks/ as per the term’s creators. I bookmarked a page explaining that, but it’s lost now.

As a marketer, I want big numbers. So I’m going to solve 300 Netlify/Decap CMS issues before @sveltiacms.app hits GA. My initial goal was 150. What a feat (and scope creep) 🔥

The width of Canadian bills is 6 inches. It can be used as a ruler to measure other objects. My friend wanted to buy a new desk, so we used a $5 bill to estimate its dimensions. Problem? I don’t understand why this country is still using imperial units.

Why is SvelteKit introducing breaking changes in a patch release? Svelte/Kit does often come with unexpected regressions in patch releases, but the lack of a versioning policy is just annoying.

Finally started writing docs for @sveltiacms.app. Lucky me, I used to run the Firefox site compat site with hundreds of docs, so this is a familiar area for me. And now GPT is helping me to write. A great doc site is on the way!

Looks like the coverage report has improved significantly in Vitest 4. Previously, Claude was confused by the false uncovered lines. Great job, folks! 👏

Sveltia CMS has hit another regression in Svelte, this time causing app hangs. I think it’s a p0 issue.

The change is now live: bugzilla.mozilla.org ✅

I have realized that I cannot use any of the recent goodies in Svelte 5, such as the experimental async and attachment features. This is because eslint-config-airbnb blocks upgrading to ESLint 9, flat config and the latest eslint-plugin-svelte. How are people dealing with this?

Firefox has added support for the View Transition API but it doesn’t yet support the parameter. Because of this, page transitions in @sveltiacms.app were broken. You can work around the issue by using a try-catch like this.

Optimizing Mozilla’s Bugzilla home page. Before and after:

The language stats for the Sveltia CMS repo were misleading because they included test files. After excluding *.test.js files, the stats are more accurate: 36% are Svelte!

I’m tired of seeing DeepL replacing curly quotes with straight quotes and forcing Oxford commas. This kind of thing should be included in the app preferences. 🫤

My monthly $25 donation to @svelte.dev is still active 💸 The full-featured, <500kb bundle of @sveltiacms.app wouldn’t have been possible without Svelte.

Rolling out to VS Code now: Claude Sonnet 4.5, Anthropic's most advanced model for coding. Let us know what you think! github.blog/changelog/20...

The RippleJS docs are live, and I’m happy because they chose a sans-serif font! 👍 The @svelte.dev docs are hard to read in a serif font, and their font/theme switcher doesn’t work when cookies are disabled. 👎

Now, `ncu` has `cooldown` option and @pnpm.io has `minimumReleaseAge` option. I’ve added both to @sveltiacms.app repo. Great work, folks!

Many features in the current version of GitHub Mobile are broken. For example, when selecting Issues or Pull Requests displays *all* the issues or PRs across the GitHub universe, not just my own. It’s useless but pretty much interesting, actually.

PSA: A week has passed since a XSS vulnerability in Decap CMS was disclosed, and it still hasn’t been patched. If possible, switch to Sveltia CMS.

I don’t read the news on social media. I use RSS reader @feedly.com to follow all my news sources. I’m old school like that.

@techmeme.com, my sole source of tech news, has turned 20. It’s great to see it still going strong! 🎉

You've probably heard about the supply chain attack that affected a number of widely-used npm packages today. tl;dr: Don't panic. Notes: 1. Svelte, SvelteKit and their associated packages are not vulnerable to this attack, as they do not use any of the compromised dependencies in the browser

This is so cool 👏 I’m gonna use it in my current SvelteKit project. Well done, Svelte team!

Added a Ripple link to the @sveltiacms.app README. Ember ➡️ React (➡️ Preact) ➡️ Svelte 4 ➡️ Svelte 5 ➡️ Ripple??

“A new start” 👀

GitHub has finally added support for WebP images. Why did it take so long? Typical of Microsoft 🫤

A quick reminder: SvelteKit 2.36.3 released 2 days ago contains a fix for a security vulnerability in the underlying devalue library. If you’re using SvelteKit, it’s a good idea to update to the latest version.

All types in @sveltiacms.app are written in TS-flavoured JSDoc. The build script first converts the typedef file to a .d.ts file while adding proper deprecated tags. It then converts the file to a JSON schema. This process can easily be automated thanks to @vite.dev’s plugin system.

ProTip: Adobe occasionally offers steep discounts, so you should always check your plan before renewing. I’ve got 54% off.

jQuery is still under development, ICYMI. They’ll release version 4.0 soonish.

So once again, I’m switching back and forth between Svelte/Node.js and jQuery/Perl. Software development is fun! 🙃

Notion added offline mode this week, saying “Your #1 all-time request is finally here.” Offline UX is often overlooked, but it’s something we have to consider when building an app, aka PWA. @sveltiacms.app will provide offline support in the future.

Just so you know, I love Svelte, okay? Breaking an app isn’t a good DX, of course, but I trust the team behind it. @rich-harris.dev using Firefox is a bonus point. (I have had an on-and-off relationship with Mozilla for 23 years and Firefox is still my default browser.)
