Svelte people, please help 😅 How is this supposed to be done. A derived reads from local storage and filters. I bind a task.completed to an input for each element. But, the items are not runes / proxies. I am trying to avoid loading all of what's in local storage into a $state() rune.

$let tasks = $derived.by(() => { const list = state_task_lists.current_task_list; const arr = storageGetItemArray<Task>('task-list'); return arr.filter((task) => task.tasks_list_id === list.id); });$

First time using view transitions. I always heard about them ion the context of page transitions. This is just a svelte state change. 2 lines of js and 2 lines of css, to get a pretty decent animation, for 2 elements that don't share a parent / layout.

30 line svelte fsm. Concept that I was wracking my braining thinking about how to handle all the edge cases, was so simple with a state machine. Shows a cover img to hide youtube iframe branding that flickers on video id change or play / pause.

$const debounce_destroyed = useDebounce(() => { f.send('destroyed'); }, 7000); type MyStates = 'show' | 'destroyed' | 'destroying'; type MyEvents = 'show' | 'destroyed' | 'destroying'; const f = new FiniteStateMachine<MyStates, MyEvents>('show', { show: { destroyed: 'destroyed', destroying: 'destroying', _enter: () => { if (debounce_destroyed.pending) debounce_destroyed.cancel(); } }, destroyed: { show: 'show', destroying: 'destroying' }, destroying: { _enter: async () => { debounce_destroyed(); }, show: 'show', destroyed: 'destroyed', destroying: () => { debounce_destroyed(); } } });$

Currently going through Whimsical Animations in my free-time. If you have the interest and means to buy it, I 100% recommend it. I don't believe that AI can teach you with this kind of depth + simplicity. If it seems like it can, well, it's probably just regurgitating courses like this one.

It seems like Cloudflare Workers are much cheaper than Vercel for hosting something like a SvelteKit app. Am I missing something? - Vercel is $20/m for 10m requests - Workers are $5/m for 10m request, not including static assets.

Cleaned up some initial load performance issues on one of my side projects. Thought these two charts were pretty interesting in retrospective. Light chart is traffic, dark chart is data transfer. - Even though traffic kept increasing, data transfer dropped from 13GB to 500MB. timer.flotes.app

vim.lsp.config has fixed so many issues I've been having in Neovim. - Svelte LS crashes on large svelte projects - Autocomplete suggestions are duplicated - ts_ls doesn't attach to .ts buffers at all - svelte files don't recognize changes to ts files

Not perfect, but reduced the resources loaded on start by one of my svelte apps from 12.4MB to 1.5MB. Something like an 88% reduction in size. timer.flotes.app

I'm having a bunch of little issues pop up in my Neovim lately. - Svelte: I constantly have to restart the LSP for various reasons. Indentation stops working, duplicated references in auto complete, svelte/kit types aren't recognized. - Ghost text for things like copilot.lua break auto pairs.

Anyone using Svelte + Neovim want to share their dots / config? 🙂 I've been using both for a long time, but recently the LazyVim extra for Svelte crashes the svelte-language-server on big svelte projects. I can't get ts file changes to show in svelte files without LspRestart. 🥲

If you had a setting page in written Svelte / Svelte-Kit. No save button, every change event on a select, checkbox, etc... saves to the server. Do you use a form remote function with a form element, or omit the form element and use a command remote function?

flotes.app now loads significantly faster. On the technical side, this uses a PWA + IDB to mirror data specific to the user. While some data uses a stale-revalidate strategy, notes utilize timestamps to verify if they need synced. This significantly reduces bandwidth usage from large markdown.

Erik V @verdevium.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

You can now view/navigate backlinks in a graph in flotes.app. Typing [[ now searches across all notes (and notebooks). On a technical side, this uses force-graph. Super easy to use and works via HTML 5 Canvas & d3-force. The backlink renderer is CodeMirror v6 autocomplete. #svelte #d3

Multiply the number of lines of code in your side projects using a framework by the number of young children you have by the number of additional hobbies you have. The higher the number, the more difficult to keep up with the changes to that framework. My score for Svelte is well over 200,000 🤣

Anyone writing Svelte with Ollama models? I feel like there should a Svelte 5 llms.txt *mini* lol. Smaller local models like gpt-oss:20b say they have a context of 128k tokens. But, it definitely seems like even the small llms.txt gets truncated. Their reasoning when given the file is way off

Question for those using Svelte-Kit and Vercel - How do you co-locate your DB near your frontend? - How do you deal with load functions and cold starts? (Aside from pro plan). - Async in universal load blocks nav. But streaming requires server load functions, which may cold start, blocking nav.

Does anyone have recommendations for articles, videos, etc... on Svelte-Kit load + client side caching? I have a hard time wrapping my head around using something like load functions and IndexDB. Since load may happen on the server without having the context of whats cached on the client.

Question for my Svelte wizards. (1/2) Context I have code where my state is managed by a cookie and a form action (a button). This way, when I refresh, I SSR the state I want. On Vercel free tier (project over 1mb, no edge) this puts a delay on my button, and on a slow network, a long delay...

When running a heap snapshot in a Svelte 5 application. What are detached comments? And why are they so... big? Is this something that's unavoidable? Or a product of making a mistake somewhere?

Any Svelte / JS wizards have tips for finding memory leaks in a Svelte 5 application? Transitioning between routes leaks some crazy amount of memory. I'm cleaning up Web workers, timeouts, event listeners, etc... I can even remove the majority of code between 2 routes and still leak badly.
