Nice feature in pnpm 10.16. Time to set `minimumReleaseAge` everywhere!

we just released SvelteKit remote functions. feel like 'minor change' undersells it a little tbh ✅ await in components svelte.dev/docs/svelte/... ✅ remote functions svelte.dev/docs/kit/rem... 🔜 async SSR truly can't wait to ship the rest of this stuff

So I've been using SvelteKit remote functions for about a week now... Total productivity banger! The mental model is super simple, makes building new features way way quicker. Not officially released and stable yet, so tread carefully 👀

Australian election comms often feel more like "why the others suck" than "here's our plan and how we'll deliver it". Not saying France is better (the current mess speaks for itself), but I do miss the policy-heavy manifestos.

Debugging web on iOS/Android has always been a pain. inspect.dev fixed that for me. No Safari hacks. No weird setups. It just works. Saved me hours, so felt like my duty to share and save others the headache.

The combo Trigger.dev + Portkey.ai is incredible for running background jobs with AI tasks. They tackle the pain points of gaining observability and granular control over both jobs and AI runs—often tricky to nail in simpler setups. I’ve been using this exact duo and highly recommend trying it out!

Biome already is a solid alternative to Prettier and ESLint. I’ve used it in my latest projects and it delivers. Full Svelte support and Tailwind sorting are coming—can’t wait.

A bit disappointed to see Edge replicas discontinued, as they were one of Turso's main selling points and why I started using and advocating for it—an unfair advantage over alternatives, especially when using Cloudflare Workers. It seems syncing the SQLite file itself applies only to non-serverless?

Jumping into the conversation, one thing I’d love to see in SvelteKit docs is an in-depth lifecycle diagram to help visualise the precise flow of data — with hooks, nested load functions, advanced routing, invalidation, etc... One good example is from the VueJS docs (vuejs.org/guide/essent...).

Looking good! I'm in the middle of implementing some dnd features in my app, so this comes at the perfect time.

Really hyped about it - just waiting for SQLite support to start building with it!

Things I'd love to see come to life in the Svelte ecosystem: 1. A PayloadCMS-style solution with an instant admin panel defined as code. 2. A Svelte utilities library as rich as VueUse/ReactUse. 3. An enterprise-grade SvelteKit boilerplate for large-scale apps.

Using Turso in serverless setups like Vercel Edge or Cloudflare Workers can lead to read-after-write issues, especially when immediate consistency is needed. After facing this in two different apps, I decided to write a post about it! 👇 sylvainsimao.com/blog/fixing-...
