I used Gemini to compare the minimized output of the Rollup vs Rolldown JavaScript bundlers to find locations where the latter was not yet at the same degree of optimization. It was astoundingly good and I'm not sure how I would have b

Only 3/40 Svelte maintainers work at Vercel and they mainly finance work on Svelte core. SvelteKit day-to-day is primarily maintained by folks outside Vercel

It's neither true that Svelte has few users or that we can easily break things. Tons of sites are built with Svelte like Yahoo Finance and Apple Music. Svelte 5 was the only big change in syntax in the past five years and we made sure

NextAuth certainly needs some competition. However, I wish better-auth didn't have so many dependencies. I feel like it shouldn't be necessary to depend on things like kysley and Typescript.

The docs for single page apps live at https://svelte.dev/docs/kit/single-page-apps By default, SvelteKit does SSR for the first page and client-side routing thereafter. This is fully configurable. Perhaps it'

Actually, I forgot that this landed as an official part of the docs now: https://svelte.dev/docs/llms It might still be a bit big, but PRs welcome if folks want to try slimming it down to just the stuff that's new

Vite does statically replace the `browser` variable with `true` or `false` based on whether you're on the client or server, but this shouldn't affect the correctness of your code. It does allow Vite to remove any unused code, howe

Files with `.server` in the name run only on the server. The remaining files run on the client and server. This is mentioned in the introduction on https://svelte.dev/docs/kit/routing What's confusing about t

Svelte is doing its own Advent of Code challenge with a twist this year. Instead of challenging users, the maintainers will be challenging themselves to launch one feature a day. Today's feature is error boundaries! https://
