Added better auth to this Convex - SvelteKit adapter. Results at work are just amazing, such a smooth app I’m building.

I’m really grateful: I’m given “carte blanche” to show my company what my vision of a great tech stack is. That @convex.dev / Autumn / Better Auth hackathon paying off, for them, and for me. I know exactly what to do, it’ll blow everyone’s mind

A new SvelteKit job offer caught my attention. This is in Finland (I love Finland 🇫🇮) very cool stack and great salary. I already have my dream job, otherwise I’d apply in a heartbeat. www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/43...

I always love seeing Svelte job offers. I might start sharing interesting ones. Looking at the offers helps understand where Svelte is in the landscape. Décathlon is one of the biggest French company often hiring Svelte devs. Who else is building with Svelte? www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/43...

This article resonates with me. React left us with bad practices that still scar the web today. But flip side: AI could actually fix this faster than we think. Train the models on modern web standards and suddenly the average dev output gets way better, not worse.

I’m not a sneakerhead, but I wanted these for years. First purchase on SNKRS, checkout with Apple Pay is so good when you embrace if fully. Super happy

I've been using Safari as my personal browser for years (vs Chrome for work), and loving it. But Safari became soooo unresponsive in the past 3 months, that I started trying the new fancy browsers. But this morning I tried Safari Technology Preview, and it's fast as I remembered default Safari.

First time I get a message of appreciation from a piece of code I posted on GitHub On this repo I made to show how to host a MCP server from a SvelteKit project. Time flies, 5 months ago now, I believe it was the first SvelteKit + MCP example. MCP grew up so fast github.com/axel-rock/sv...

Got super excited that Biome officially supports Svelte. But I'm too dumb to configure these tools. A few hours trying, I got the combo Biome + Zed to lint my Svelte files, but not my ts ones 🙃

I’m trying to give Tailwind a real shot. After 2 days, I’d say it’s easier to write (no/less selectors, the tool suite is nice), nice to avoid scrolling in my svelte component But I find it more difficult to read, I don’t think most abstraction help me (I prefer px and rem to TW units…

NotebookLM is really a good solution to my really low attention span when reading. Pasted a blog post I was longing to read for weeks, and listened to a cool non-robotic 15 minutes podcast.

Claude 4.5, in the Claude desktop app, amazes me. Even in a very long conversation, it remains smart, doesn't overdo it. It's pretty nuanced, it's pleasant to read...

Breakfast in Paris. Hip coffee place. I noticed the croissant was 5€ after I sat down. Considering giving my MacBook as a deposit to pay for this.

Genuinely affected by Rauch’s stance. I love Vercel tools. I often publicly praised them. Moving away will be painful, but I don’t want to be a part of those who let this happen and say nothing.

I'm not the only one preferring Claude apparently, most @vercel.com AI Gateway users too. Cool graph. Some days it's almost ONLY Claude.

Impossible to open my Stripe dashboard on Chrome today, but it works on Safari. 🤔

You'll understand this video only if you've worked with Stripe I think. It takes me 16 minutes with [Autumn](useautumn.com) to setup the entire pricing model most startups want to build: Free tier, pro plan, Pay as you go, one time payment and even referral... youtu.be/2vQZ-FHgTW8?...

It only took me 27 years, and re-watching until S02E16 to understand that, in Stargate SG-1, travel can only occur in 1 direction through the gate.

Wow, I don't think I ever noticed an app that supports "Breton". But Whisper Flow does. Fun fact, I was actually thinking about using AI to translate my personal in Breton, just to honor the domain in .bzh

It's 4 in the morning, I should be sleeping but I had an idea for the @convex.dev x Better Auth x Autumn hackathon 🙃 Gotta at least create a base repo.

I work on light-mode-only app at work. I usually don't work extra late, but this week-end, I do, and not having a dark mode hurts.

Literally spent hours trying to understand what was wrong with my Auth. 🤦
Screenshot of a site that compares text. It highlights that the first text says localhost:5179, and right side shows localhost:5719 (7 and 1 are swapped)

I’m using Convex and Better Auth on my personal project. Making them work together is not the most convenient thing, especially with Svelte. But it’s very very interesting. I can’t stop thinking about coding

I'm a bit confused by @anthropic.com new ID for their models. Before: claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219 Now: claude-sonnet-4-20250514 The version number moved from before "sonnet", to after. Poke @sdk.vercel.ai and @lgrammel.bsky.social the SDK update uses the old convention : claude-4-sonnet-20250514

I’m both sad and excited : sad because I spent months building something like that for myself. Excited because I know this will be far better.

I used all the discounts I could find to get a cheap refurbished base iPad. I know a tablet is not a product I need at home, but I just tried Sidecar (using the iPad as a glorified secondary monitor - wirelessly) while working on the go, and it's a game changer.

I used "manual reasoning" with Claude from @anthropic.com: Forced the model to write an XML with its thought process, then parsed this to only extract the final response. I switched to the built-in reasoning, tried both the previous prompt and a refined one, result:

I tasted an Espresso Tonic for the first time. Refreshing, but I think I know why it's not very common. I love the coffee place though (Distillerie Fizet, Nantes), 5 minutes walk from my place, nice and passionate owner. I asked him to explain how he serves it, pretty interesting.

I tried implementing my own MCP multiple times, but this utility from Vercel makes it super easy. So easy that I had to make my dream come true: Host a MCP from a SvelteKit project. Thanks to their encouragement and help, I managed to make it work. github.com/axel-rock/sv...

Got really excited by @anthropic.com 's new web search feature. I wanted to implement it as fast as possible, so I opened VSCode at midnight and started digging into @sdk.vercel.ai 's source code.

Between work and side projects, I work with multiple stacks: - Front-end SvelteKit only - iOS Swift - Back-end SvelteKit mostly - More balanced SvelteKit It makes me realize how much I love the balance a full stack SvelteKit project, so elegant and pleasant to work with
