  1. SvelteKit

    web development, streamlined (by sveltejs)

    Project mention: eridu-tech alternatives - AdonisJs Framework, Nest, trpc, orpc, and Next.js | libhunt.com/r/eridu-tech-core | 2026-08-07

    SvelteKit vs a framework‑agnostic backend. SvelteKit: - Excels at client rendering, SSR, routing, and a rich frontend ecosystem. - Ships its own server‑side APIs, server endpoints, and form actions. - Often the best starting point for shipping a web app quickly. - Backend logic locked into SvelteKit. - No built‑in, batteries-included backend infrastructure. eridu-tech: - Not a web or frontend framework — not a replacement for SvelteKit. - Complements SvelteKit — server endpoints and form actions can use cache, locks, queues, and schedulers. - Same backend logic moves between SvelteKit and a standalone API service or worker. - Add eridu‑tech for portable, testable server‑side infra.

    Project mention: Ask HN: Do you have any evidence that agentic coding works? | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-01-20

    I'm still experimenting with it and finding out what works and what doesn't, but I have made some side projects with Claude including a web framework that doesn't require a build step/npm dependencies (great for my personal website so I don't have to depend on npm supply chain nightmares), a fully featured music player server, and also a tool that lets the agent review it's past conversations and update documentation based on patterns such as frequent mistakes, re-explored code, etc.

    Web framework (includes basic component library, optional bundler/optimizer, tutorial/docs, e2e tests, and demos): https://github.com/iwalton3/vdx-web
