The only thing I can think of that's slow are certain libraries where you're bundling thousands of files such as icon libraries. Were you using an icon library or does Ark just have that many components? See here for notes on how to speed things up: svelte.dev/docs/kit/icons

I'm jealous! My PR to slim down dependencies was rejected because they weren't interested.

Is that a train?

opencollective.com/svelte does fund a portion of Svelte's development. But always happy to have it fund more!

Yeah. it's possible the first comment is outdated

If you're on Discord you can follow the #bluesky channel. Everything the community posts is mirrored there

Ben McCann @benmccann.com · 5d

Welcome! We won't be reconsidering anytime soon. Bluesky is a better experience. It has a Svelte starter pack (bsky.app/starter-pack...) and Svelte feed (bsky.app/profile/paol...) that makes it easier to stay up-to-date with what's going on in the Svelte community. I hope you'll give these a try!

I prefer "don't set state in an effect"

I just learned about github.com/KTibow/m3-sv.... If you want to stick with material design, you might prefer it as an alternative to SMUI.

GitHub - KTibow/m3-svelte: Implements the Material 3 design system in Svelte, cleanly, robustly, and across disciplines.

Yes!! Especially now that require(esm) is available it's time for everyone to move!

Oh, I missed that Paolo replied with both of these suggestions 😆 Well great minds think alike!

Not sure what you mean for the CSS issue

I probably wouldn't use stores for new code. They're still supported because they were more heavily used in v4

As I recall, most of the code examples these days are in TS and there's a toggle between TS/JS. Is there a specific place you had trouble?

You can use this SvelteKit setting for a hash-based router: svelte.dev/docs/kit/con...

shadcn-svelte is probably the most popular UI library for Svelte

Maybe it could be auto-generated from the replacements repo

Aren't they chubby though?

Maybe something like a ferret would be more svelte? 😆

It'd be awesome to switch `@vercel/nft` to it one day since `glob` is responsible for almost half of its dependency graph

It took me a long time to discover you could add your own feeds. Making that more discoverable would go a long way towards fixing the issue

lil' treat for all you weekend builders: Svelte now has an official MCP server, courtesy of resident bot wranglers @paolo.ricciuti.me and @khromov.se 🤖

Awesome!

How is Svelte support implemented? Does it use the Svelte parser or a re-implementation in rust?

Does it just check the contents of script blocks or does it try to do any checks of the template contents? How many rules from eslint-plugin-svelte might be available in Biome?

👀 Something very exciting is coming soon if you're using AI with Svelte. Watch this space! #svelte #ai

We're really just taking submissions internally. We should update the docs somewhere to mention that. If there's some popular package we missed you can just let me know here

Ben McCann @benmccann.com · 11d

There's a list that Svelte Society maintains as well. I think we'd like to coordinate with them so that more packages can be displayed there and then we can discover which ones are the most used to consider for inclusion. They're currently working on some updates on their side first though

If you happen to be using Svelte with Astro, I have plenty of tips to share

@43081j.com are you aware of any others?
