This di.day is my hardest yet. Bye discord, github and npmjs registry. (there may be some cleanup activities in the coming days but no more active contributions, accounts are inactivated to prevent imposter takeover) Unfortunately this means i also am no longer an active vite team member.

Long weekend coming up in europe with labor day on may 1st and Sunday it's di.day again. Good occasion to leave and boycott services that are outright hostile to their own users and even employees (Hey meta, microsoft, google, ...)

First peek at Svelte 5 + NativeScript 🚀 Big thanks to @paolo.ricciuti.me, @svelte.dev, @syntax.fm and @mainmatter.com

I’ve created yet another @svelte.dev i18n library, specifically designed for @sveltiacms.app. It replaces svelte-i18n and uses MessageFormat 2 to handle complex pluralization, which is essential for many languages.

🎉 We're excited to finally announce TinyBase v8.1 - the one with native Svelte 5 support. We've got Svelte demos, guides, and a getting-started tool. Links below! This was fun and we want to give a huge shout out to the @svelte.dev community for being so helpful and supportive!

Bar so tiny you need glasses for SvelteKit

The @e18e.dev CLI now powers the dependency stats in the framework tracker project. For example, you can now see deduplicated dependencies across the Node Modules folder in the starter setups for each metaframework.

Token efficiency of many frameworks vs svelte 5 as baseline

I just took my first brief look at the OpenClaw repository and I was shocked. 5,000 open PRs, 500 dependencies, 250 security issues! 😱 I can't imagine trying to manage a project that gets so popular so quickly.

Who here is on Svelte 4 yet? Curious to hear what is stopping you from upgrading to Svelte 5, and if we can make things any easier here.

SvelteKit 2 now fully supports Vite 8 SvelteKit 3 will require it - giving additional optimizations and functionality. E.g. SvelteKit 3 will use @rolldown.rs hook filters to spend more compilation time in rust and less in JavaScript. And SvelteKit 3 adapters use only rolldown without esbuild

Starting to merge PRs for SvelteKit 3! A long road ahead, but excited to get started! github.com/sveltejs/kit...

Happy to report that the Chatto development instance is now available for testing. Go nuts (but not too nuts, k?)

Chatto Dev Instance

The development instance of Chatto, the lean, self-hostable chat app. Come try the latest builds and hang with the team.

It's official, you can now get paid up to $10,000 for finding security issues in Svelte and SvelteKit! Big thanks to both the security team at Vercel and the Svelte maintainers' group for coming together to make this possible. Learn more: vercel.com/blog/the-ver...

It took a while, lots of debugging and fixes in rolldown, vite-plugin-svelte and sveltekit, but today it happened. For the first time, sveltekit tests in vite-ecosystem-ci for vite-8 beta passed. github.com/vitejs/vite-... Thanks to everyone who helped getting there especially @sapphi.red

✂️ Knip v5.82.0 is out → Improved support for @svelte.dev + new SvelteKit plugin → In the Editor Extension, quickfix can directly install missing dependency (thanks @alexanderkaran.bsky.social) Enjoy your Sunday 🫖 ☀️

Every time you update your dependencies and see that your deps tree gets slimmer, there is a high chance you're enjoying the relentless work of James or other folks from the @e18e.dev community that he inspired to get into action. Consider sponsoring him if you care about the JavaScript ecosystem.

James@43081j.com · 7mo ago

just a reminder that i have github sponsors if you'd like to sponsor the OSS work i do. i maintain quite a few projects, and contribute to many more. nobody other than these sponsors pay for that. so these help a huge amount, however small 🙏 thanks so much to those who already did ❤️

I got a robot

the most recent data shows Waymo's self-driving cars perform significantly *better* than human drivers. the most recent data shows Tesla Robotaxis perform significantly *worse* than human drivers, even with a safety monitor in the front seat. sherwood.news/tech/teslas-...

Tesla’s 29 Austin Robotaxis have crashed 8 times since June, as data suggests they perform much worse than human drivers

That’s a lot of crashes for such a small fleet....

Guys I'm not making this up...I asked Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok what frontend framework they would pick if they only could pick the one they would enjoy writing more. They ALL said Svelte 🧡 Do your LLM a favor, switch to Svelte 🧡

Thankful to the amazing unsung heroes of open source development doing great work like @cyberalien.dev Check out how much smaller `@iconify/tailwind4` has gotten with the latest release!

Excited to see the Svelte custom rendering work get a sponsor! Additional sponsors are still required to fund the project, which will let Svelte run with Lynx JS

Thanks to SuppCo for supporting our Svelte Custom Renderers initiative 🙌 When ready, this API will allow devs to use Svelte to build Native Apps, Terminal, or anything they want. If your company wants to help make custom renderers a reality, make sure to reach out! svelte-custom-renderers.com

LLMs have finally stopped recommending React. Nature is healing 🧡

The glob library on npm currently has a CVE. It's entirely predictable since it has 26 dependencies. If you're getting a security warning from glob it's a good time to see if you can switch to a lighter dependency such as tinyglobby or Node's built-in glob functionality: nodejs.org/api/fs.html#...

When reducing dependencies in Svelte projects, I was really surprised how many dependencies the typical glob library has and ended up switching most of the JS ecosystem to tinyglobby once it became available. With one final PR pending, the Svelte ecosystem is nearly free of extra glob dependencies!

James@43081j.com · 9mo ago

tinyglobby is a great success, and has shown us how much we can improve perf for everyone. here's some of the story! big thanks to @superchupu.dev and @benmccann.com for putting so much work into this and the migrations/adoption. we're lucky to have both in the @e18e.dev community 💙

@pnpm.io added a `trustPolicy` option in 10.21. It allows you to prevent installing potentially malicious dependency updates that are not signed like previous versions. pnpm.io/blog/release... Thank you for all the performance, productivity and security enhancements over the last years 💜
