Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 13/03/2026I'll make an appearance on This Week in Svelte, talking a bit about Convex and Svelte. See you there: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHV7...youtube.comThis Week in Svelte, Ep. 134 — Changelog, convex-sveltekitYouTube video by Svelte Society 061
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 07/03/2026I’ll take a deep look, it sounds very interesting. I tried to build all of this myself, not that easy 110
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 26/02/2026Yes indeed. And quick tip, you can also override that setting with the environment variables (if you work in a team and don’t want to force a key binding to the others) 110
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 26/02/2026I’d also say attach. I disabled the inspector while trying new shortcuts last week, it drove me nuts in a few minutes. 110
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 19/02/2026Added better auth to this Convex - SvelteKit adapter. Results at work are just amazing, such a smooth app I’m building. 041
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 19/02/2026Working with MutationObserver as well today, in svelte 5 though. Slight benefit with the @attach va onMount. I always feel clever when I use these nice browser APIs 110
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 17/02/2026A little bit yes. I haven’t used firebase in years. Best difference for me: there is no security rules. It’s just typescript. It feels a lot more flexible. But it’s hard to describe. The offering is very unique 020
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 16/02/2026It’s a very unique take on database, or even a backend. It’s real time by default, you declare everything in typescript. There is a bit of learning curve to get use to that mental model, but I think it’s a very interesting product 010
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 16/02/2026PS: On the demo page, it often shows a 500 on first load 😅 I need to fix that 000
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 16/02/2026It's experimental. Already testing it at Cobl. And honestly, it's the DX I wished existed when I started using both. Feedback very welcome. 100
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 16/02/2026This idea stuck in my head for months. Every time I wired up a @convex.dev query in @svelte.dev, the same thought — there has to be a way to make this feel native. SvelteKit's transport hook turned out to be the missing piece. 100
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 16/02/2026Convex reactivity + SvelteKit DX + SSR. Pick three github.com/axel-rock/convex-sveltekit 2100
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 15/02/2026Because it’ll be quick to build, and come with nice features (real time, literally better auth) 000
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 14/02/2026It’s not rebuilding for the sake of rebuilding. Or product is about 3 years old. AI was barely a thing back then. I’m capitalising on the learnings, and betting on the benefits of a clean slate. But I need to move fast to prove my point. 000
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 14/02/2026I’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 210
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 13/02/2026A 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...linkedin.comKultakiertue Oy hiring Senior Software Developer in Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland | LinkedInPosted 2:44:03 PM.

Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 11/02/2026I share the pain of the .env as well. I think I’ll try something like Infisical 000
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 11/02/2026It’s scary, but I got better output working like that recently. I have a big big thing in working on for over a week, and I haven’t really looked at the code yet. I plan to. But not micromanaging on Cursor has helped getting sh*t done a lot. 100
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 11/02/2026{@const active = page.url.pathname === href} <a {href} class:border={active} I think page.route.id should work Maybe you use it in a way that makes in non-reactive (within a state, not a derived). Want to share more code?page.route.id 000
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 01/02/2026I am, not even jokingly, talking to Clawdbot about my personal life, while I let cursor build a vibe coding tool. Ain't that meta? 110
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 01/02/2026I always love seeing Svelte job offers. I might start sharing interesting ones. Looking at the offers helps understand where Svelte is in the landscape.

Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 31/01/2026Hey there 👋 Seeing you show up on my screen because I follow the Svelte feed 🧡 I was like : “Cool post, SvelteKit and creative coding, that’s my jam. Who wrote that?” And 🤯 110
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 28/01/2026I’ll be super happy to jump onboard day 1 as well. I feel like 2026 will be a good year for Svelte DX and tools. This + full Zed support (mostly a port of that amazing VS Code extension) are my highest tech expectations. Techspectations ? 010
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 10/01/2026They are really cool. I even hope they’ll manage to bring the same DX to some client side code. It’s a really impressive feature. 000
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 09/01/2026Not an expert, but I think libraries without tree shaking/ESM tend to snowball quite a lot. Having `require` or `import * from`, is a big warning for me 100
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 23/12/2025Last minute gift idea for devs and indie hackers: a gift card for a domain. 000
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 21/12/2025Just did it manually this week ^^ good to know for next time. 110
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 18/12/2025Have you run into issues with form actions or remote functions, especially action ones (command and form)? Just migrated to Cloudflare, and I faced that today. 110
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 18/12/2025Pinging @tolin.ski, I think this is his favourite combo. He just released a 3h deep dive on SvelteKit, I haven’t watched it yet, maybe it’s in there. But if not, maybe he has a repo to share 🤔 youtu.be/vkXxFfGwPao?...youtu.beModern Svelte Kit - Complete Svelte Kit Course for BeginnersYouTube video by Syntax 010
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 17/12/2025Paraglide is really cool. I have yet to try Wuchale, brought to my attention by @khromov.se on YouTube.

Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 16/12/2025@gameofroles.bsky.social Coucou ! Vous avez le calendrier des prochains épisodes ? ☺️🙏 000
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 11/12/2025This 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. 110
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 07/12/2025I don’t know how Scott did this, but here is a library that makes it super easy to do keyboard shortcuts in Svelte, it’s my go to for this and some other goodies these days: runed.dev/docs/utiliti...runed.devPressedKeysTracks which keys are currently pressed 070
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 28/11/2025I gave Zed a try a few weeks ago, the Svelte extension is the only I miss to switch. The competition in that space is become so intense that I want to get attached to a new editor anymore. 000
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 15/11/2025I’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 010
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 06/11/2025Amen 🙏 I share this luck/stack, but I decided to allow tailwind, not because I like it, but my entire prefers it apparently 🥲 120

Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 27/10/2025I'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. 020
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 25/10/2025First 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... 020
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 24/10/2025Got 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 🙃 120
Axel Rock @axelrock.com · 23/10/2025I’ll genuinely keep trying, and maybe learn some more complex stuff than just adding classes everywhere. 000
