Most folks laughed when I self-hosted the Svelte Society infrastructure at home last year, but these pricing increases make it feel pretty good 😅 About €1,000 for a Minisforum UM790 Pro with 64 GB DDR5 and 4 TB of SSD storage in RAID. minisforumpc.eu/products/min...

I’ve been cooking… built a local-first sync library for the browser. - Encrypted and private, no one can see your data. Unless you invite them to. - Uses Nostr relays to sync. - No servers or auth needed. - Effect first (v4 beta ftw!)

Last year I had a son and noticed that I constantly had back pain from holding him so starting this year I decided that it was time to fix that. So - i vibed myself an exercise app to track my progress. So far I've done 26 sessions in 2026. Very happy with the result so far and I can't believe...

Been working on a Svelte x AI video course and I asked Claude to seed the database with some data. 🤣 That's a first for me haha!

By making you hold your identity yourself. Generally people use browser extension on the web. As it happens I'm currently working on one, so I recorded a small video for you so you can see it in action :) It's WIP so excuse some of the rougher edges. I plan to hide most of the complexity.

Here's how identity is handled on Nostr. Your private/public key pair is your identiy. The keys don't ever touch any kind of centralized point. This comes with trade-offs, of course, but it is decentralized af 😅

Great fix there, Claude. Good job!

We Svelte folks know you do - in-fact - like Svelte more. I even have proof! Jokes aside, see you in April at CityJS!

Cooking up a SvelteKit adapter that adapts the server parts of Kit to run inside a service worker on the client! 🤯 Here some Pokemon are fetched inside of a load function in a +page.server.ts file... running in the client! :)

You need to use one of the big cloud providers for those juicy uptimes! They never go down! 😎

Just a simple read in a loop. I have just heard of SQLite in DO now and I'm going to give that a whirl and see if it's any better (it should be!)

Yes, Cloudflare D1 is totally a replacement for an embedded SQLite database. Pinky promise! 🤡 No. Of course that's not true. SQLite locally is 780x faster. 🤣

A graph showing how long queries are taking when using Cloudflare D1 and bun:sqlite. It shows SQLite being 780x faster than D1.

Honestly, this is just starting to get ridiculous 🤭

Oh... what's this, you ask? Just a benchmark that coincidentally shows how fast SvelteKit is compared to Next.js 🤷‍♂️ How fast, you ask? Just 7-10x. No biggie. Svelte ❤️

A bar chart showing CPU benchmarks. SvelteKit is showing a 7-10x speed up compared to Next.js.

Just discovered a new form remote function feature I hadn't seen before. Makes it a breeze to build progressively enhanced forms inside tables. Here's one example where you need one form for every row. Just adding `.for(some-key)` makes it work 🧑‍🍳🤌

I have some logging enabled to see how long queries and data loading is taking on the new Svelte Society website. Almost had a heart attack when I saw the numbers. 0.2-0.3 seconds? Then I realize - oh, it's 0.2-0.3 *ms*. 😅 Turns out you don't need the VC backed cloud. 🤯 🤷‍♂️
