i've written up some thoughts about AI in the open source world, and more importantly, why humanity is important. its a bit wordy and doomy but this is an important topic right now. there is still a lot of good in the OSS world at least ❤️

new post on my personal blog. i think these three areas often go unexplained, so hopefully this explains why some of these packages exist. these are fine to exist but the majority of developers shouldn't have to pay the cost for them.

Test tags are coming to Vitest 4.1 (beta)! And they are powerful 💪 main.vitest.dev/guide/test-t...

Something is moving regarding svelte custom renderers...help us bring this to the finish line! 🧡

Mainmatter@mainmatter.com · 9mo ago

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

Louder for the people in the back 📣 Managing infra, hosting accounts, supporting user issues, dealing with incidents and outages, software updates, security updates, dna cost, server cost, etc. is the unpaid, undervalued, and underacknowledged labor of this community

people talk about self-hosting like the only effort involved is getting it set up

Nowadays, we can do better: ``` box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgb(from currentcolor r g b/ .65) ``` Cross-browser since September 2024. #tinyCSStip #CSS

Ana Tudor@anatudor.bsky.social · 3y ago

#tinyCSStip Want the shadow of an element or some other visual to be a semitransparent version of the `currentColor`? Use `color-mix()`! Cross-browser, btw. 😼

I finally cracked embedded formatting in @biomejs.dev ! Soon we'll be able to land proper formatting for HTML, Vue, Svelte and Astro. Angular requires some more plumbing, but we're there.

I scored 15/28 on jsdate.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media. Too high, I was shooting randomly... Now, can the progress on Temporal API be sped up, a little bit, please? Just so I can forget this quiz quickly 🥲

new Date("wtf")

How well do you know JavaScript's Date class?

I made a quiz about the JS Date parser is. It's very easy and you will score very high. jsdate.wtf

🧵 THREAD: People keep saying Svelte is "too magical" - but Svelte 5 just changed the game completely. Let me show you why Svelte 5's "magic" is actually just syntactic sugar over patterns you already know from React, Solid, and Angular.

I’ve made Sveltest a thing 🫣 sveltest.dev This is documentation for getting started using vitest-browser-svelte in your projects I’m currently going through the docs sveltest.dev/docs/getting-started comparing with what me and my team are doing “real-world” and validating Contributions welcome

I had an absolute blast on the @syntax.fm podcast with @tolin.ski and @wesbos.com, talking about how @storybook.js.org has evolved, what you can expect from Storybook 9, and what we're thinking about Component Testing!! Thanks for having me! ❤️

In today's released talk from Svelte Summit Spring 2025 @dominikg.dev talks extensively about testing your Svelte applications with Vitest and Playwright — Testing, 1 2 3 4. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljmU...

It was fantastic to give this talk and share all the cool stuff we've been working on. Check it out to see what we've been cooking in Storybook for Svelte and/or Component Testing. 🎉

Svelte Society@sveltesociety.dev · last yr.

The next talk from Svelte Summit Spring 2025 by @reinhold.is is also related to testing — Strike the Perfect Balance: Component Testing with Storybook, Svelte, and Vitest. youtu.be/mdyRQDDp28s

If you care about the testability of your CSS styles, you should upvote this proposal by @justinfagnani.com to the heavens. It would be a huge thing to solve IMO. 🎉 Repost for reach. 🙏 github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...

Allow triggering of native pseudo-classes for development purposes · Issue #12202 · w3c/csswg-drafts

Browser devtools allow us to trigger native pseudo-classes like :focus or :invalid. This is great to have, but there are cases where we can't expect a user to open devtools. A big use case is compo...

Looking forward to @storybook.js.org v9 that's just around the corner. @reinhold.is revealed the new dependency graph at Svelte Summit. 🔥🔥🔥

Super cool talk by @reinhold.is at the @svelte.dev Summit in Barcelona about @storybook.js.org. It looks like such a powerful and useful tool 🤩 #SvelteSummit #Svelte

@reinhold.is spoke a story (pun intended) in a calm voice, explaining why UI in 2025 is quite complex. And ended up with reasons why we may need Storybook, and how it can help us. Well spoken! 👏 #SvelteSummit

Woah, that's quite a testimonial for @pnpm.io 👏

Aviv Keller@aviv.sh · last yr.

We’re excited to share that the @nodejs.org website (nodejs.org) now builds using @pnpm.io! This switch has led to faster CI builds and more efficient dependency management.

I'd love input from any @storybook.js.org Storybook + Svelte CSF users out there on this new RFC, if you think it would be helpful or bad or unnecessary or great. (might be using too many insider-terms, sorry)

Improved snippets support · storybookjs addon-svelte-csf · Discussion #301

While working with the addon recently, I discovered a few areas where our support for Svelte snippets is suboptimal, and I think we can improve them. I'm listing them all out here because I think t...

📢 Heads up to all @svelte.dev 5 users of @storybook.js.org: We've published a new prerelease version of the Svelte CSF addon, that contains some breaking changes. If you're using @storybook/addon-svelte-csf with Svelte 5, you should take a look at the release notes. @sveltesociety.dev

@jsr.io supported out of the box by pnpm I love these guys!!! 🧡

pnpm@pnpm.io · last yr.

pnpm v10.9 is out with native support for the JSR registry! You can now install packages from JSR using the "jsr:" protocol. For example: pnpm add jsr:@hono/hono

ECMAScript excitement 😉 TypeScript's @chronicles.org is pitching enum in JS 🎉 It's the good parts of TS enum + enhancements: 🔶 More datatypes: Symbols etc 🔶 Iterable 🔶 Immutable 🔶 Null prototype 🔶 No declaration merging 🔶 Compatible with Node type-stripping 👍 github.com/rbuckton/pro...

Thank you @ciscorn.bsky.social 🙇!!! I'm very grateful and honored to have the very first OSS sponsorship ever - from you!

SvelteKit is now fully supported in Deno with the latest changes to improve Typescript and editor support!

Deno@deno.land · 2y ago

Deno 2.2 is released! OTEL, node:sqlite, linter plugins, and much more 👇 deno.com/blog/v2.2

It's official! I'm speaking at Svelte Summit, come see me in Barcelona in May! Can't wait to meet you all in person! I'll be diving into @svelte.dev with @storybook.js.org, and how you can use it to write delicious Component Tests! 🚀 Might also include a surprise collab... 🙊

Svelte Society@sveltesociety.dev · 2y ago

Now that speakers have been selected we want to share with you our line-up for Svelte Summit Spring 2025! We will host 16 talks across different topics during the two day conference. In addition, @mainmatter.com will also host a workshop. More details on www.sveltesummit.com

In a previous post I explained why passing a Svelte rune to functions doesn't update the value but here's how you can wrap or box a value which can be passed and updated using a couple of lines of code. 😎

Wooho, congratulations @ciscorn.bsky.social on winning Svelte Hack 2024 - Migration Magician!!! 🏆 Your hard work paid off!

Many thanks for those blog posts. I've always loved how much attention you're putting into making examples as practical as possible. TIL about #TypeDoc `{@includeCode}` - super handy!

Axel Rauschmayer (also on 🦣)@dr-axel.de · 2y ago

Interested in #TypeScript? I have written 10 new blog posts about TypeScript in 2025 that you can read here: 2ality.com Topics: tsconfig.json, enum patterns, template literal types, infer, satisfies, and more. 🦋 Reposts appreciated!

Really awesome! I made it work in @storybook.js.org: 1. create simple wrapper - import Svelte Render Scan - pass-through the Story as children 2. add wrapper as a global decorator to Storybook's preview.js PS: @reinhold.is @xeho91.dev I followed examples from this issue github.com/storybookjs/...
