  • vite

    Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!

    Note: At the moment of writing there's a bug in SvelteKit's dependency package, preventing the use of fs/promises, therefore the function above uses sync versions of fs methods.

  • Svelte

    Cybernetically enhanced web apps

    Svelte itself is like coming back to the future: you write your user interfaces with almost old-school HTML in a declarative manner with zero-to-none boilerplate. And then .svelte files are compiled to the plain old .js,.css and .html. Apps come out fast, lightweight and easy to maintain and extend.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • Milligram

    A minimalist CSS framework.

    For speed and simplicity, we'll use a minimalistic CSS framework called Milligram.

  • SvelteKit

    web development, streamlined (by sveltejs)

    It's been a long time since I got excited about a framework. I often advocate for reinventing the wheel, how come I'm writing an ode to a framework? Short answer: because SvelteKit is very good, even though it's still in beta. The long answer is ahead.

  • Visual Studio Code

    Visual Studio Code

    It's also nice to have a code editor with Svelte extension (e.g. VSCode with svelte-vscode extension).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
