I can't believe how good the Symbiote Native docs are. They just added support for writing mobile apps in Svelte and the docs are already fully fleshed out! docs.symbiote-native.dev

Who here is on Svelte 4 yet? Curious to hear what is stopping you from upgrading to Svelte 5, and if we can make things any easier here.

SvelteKit 2 now fully supports Vite 8 SvelteKit 3 will require it - giving additional optimizations and functionality. E.g. SvelteKit 3 will use @rolldown.rs hook filters to spend more compilation time in rust and less in JavaScript. And SvelteKit 3 adapters use only rolldown without esbuild

Every time you update your dependencies and see that your deps tree gets slimmer, there is a high chance you're enjoying the relentless work of James or other folks from the @e18e.dev community that he inspired to get into action. Consider sponsoring him if you care about the JavaScript ecosystem.

The glob library on npm currently has a CVE. It's entirely predictable since it has 26 dependencies. If you're getting a security warning from glob it's a good time to see if you can switch to a lighter dependency such as tinyglobby or Node's built-in glob functionality: nodejs.org/api/fs.html#...

When reducing dependencies in Svelte projects, I was really surprised how many dependencies the typical glob library has and ended up switching most of the JS ecosystem to tinyglobby once it became available. With one final PR pending, the Svelte ecosystem is nearly free of extra glob dependencies!

SvelteKit 3 / Vite 8 will be built on rolldown. You can use it now if you're adventurous! If you're not using the new remote functions, it largely works without issue and is much faster. We'd love help in discovering any bugs that haven't been unearthed yet! Post them at github.com/vitejs/rolld...

Yes! Let's set the record straight. Biome has very little support for Svelte. It's marketing gone overboard. It has no Svelte-specific rules that I'm aware of. I don't think it will ever be a competitive offering. My eyes are on oxlint, which is working towards being able to run eslint-plugin-svelte

I'm a bit pleased to learn that Cloudflare found SvelteKit to be nearly an order of magnitude faster than Next.js. We've invested in Svelte's speed, but not SvelteKit's, so I suspect there's still much more room for improvement.
