I’m on track to add 100 examples to the @sveltiacms.app Showcase this month! As for the framework stats, Eleventy maintains a narrow lead over vanilla JavaScript. New Hugo sites are rare these days.

As expected, Hugo is now in 4th place in the framework ranking. I wouldn’t be surprised if vanilla JS overtakes Eleventy as well.

But, ugh, I should really think about moving away from Svelte. svelte.dev now joins nextjs.org and nuxt.com among many sites that crash when cookies are disabled.

We’ve got the 100th Astro site in the Sveltia CMS showcase. Astro and Eleventy have a roughly 2:1 share. It’s interesting to see SvelteKit in 7th place — its static adapter is a hidden gem.

My friend just DM’d me a camp pic that had me in it. It was taken 28 years ago. I haven’t changed that much. Last year, someone told me I looked 18 or 19, and it turns out they were absolutely right — I haven’t aged for over 25 years. This is how #antiaging really works.

This is my browsing experience. Many React sites crash because cookies are disabled by default in my Firefox. This is why I want to eliminate React from the planet.

As a marketer, I want big numbers. So I’m going to solve 300 Netlify/Decap CMS issues before @sveltiacms.app hits GA. My initial goal was 150. What a feat (and scope creep) 🔥

Optimizing Mozilla’s Bugzilla home page. Before and after:

Mozilla’s Bugzilla homepage, before optimization: a single-column layout with overflowing content.

Mozilla’s Bugzilla homepage, after optimization: a two-column layout, an enlarged title, and a distinctive product download section.

The language stats for the Sveltia CMS repo were misleading because they included test files. After excluding *.test.js files, the stats are more accurate: 36% are Svelte!

Svelte has encountered an infinite loop again, and it’s not possible to to debug this easily. The stack trace is useless. Poor DX 🫤

It’s 2025, and @github.com still doesn’t support WebP images in the comments. That’s a typical Microsoft 🙄
