  1. Svelte

    web development for the rest of us

    I lost a non-trivial amount of time converting a vuejs app to svelte before getting blindsided by svelte not having basic error handling: https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/1096

    Many types of errors that the equivalent vuejs/react app will show an error page and allow reporting to sentry for will result in an uncatchable halting (some may describe this as "freezing") and with no way to report this to a service like sentry.

    This is unacceptable for a framework claiming to be production ready.

    It's unclear to me if this has been fixed in the last year or two.

  3. surplus

    High performance JSX web views for S.js applications

  4. Podman Desktop

    Podman Desktop is the best free and open source tool to work with Containers and Kubernetes for developers. Get an intuitive and user-friendly interface to effortlessly build, manage, and deploy containers and Kubernetes โ€” all from your desktop.

    Is Svelte blowing up in popularity? I've never heard of it until seeing it multiple places today.

  5. django-ninja

    ๐Ÿ’จ Fast, Async-ready, Openapi, type hints based framework for building APIs

    I like NextJS for the frontend and django-ninja for the backend. django-ninja has all those things you mention and way more, and has a very rich backend ecosystem thanks to being in the django world. https://django-ninja.rest-framework.com/

  6. windmill

    Open-source developer platform to power your entire infra and turn scripts into webhooks, workflows and UIs. Fastest workflow engine (13x vs Airflow). Open-source alternative to Retool and Temporal.

    At windmill (https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill), our whole frontend is in svelte, we love it, the performance are second to none and the dev experience is great. But finding svelte dev is proving itself harder than I thought. So there is that issue as well.

  7. learndb

    Discontinued Curated learning resources with topics, formats, difficulty levels, expert reviews and metadata tags

    I loved using Svelte for these two open-source projects but haven't yet an opportunity to use it at work:

    - An SVG-based graph dataset editor: https://codeberg.org/nilesh/grapher

    - A curated collection of educational resources: https://github.com/learn-awesome/learndb

    Compared to React, developing with Svelte felt like a breath of fresh air.

  8. daisyui

    ๐ŸŒผ ๐ŸŒผ ๐ŸŒผ ๐ŸŒผ ๐ŸŒผ โ€ƒThe most popular, free and open-source Tailwind CSS component library

    I'm using Svelte with Daisy UI [0] which is based on Tailwind CSS. It is incredibly simple and beautiful.

  10. skeleton

    Discontinued A fully featured UI toolkit for Svelte + Tailwind. [Moved to: https://github.com/skeletonlabs/skeleton] (by Brain-Bones)

    You might check out Skeleton (full disclosure, I'm one of the creators)

    https://skeleton.brainandbonesllc.com/

    When my partner and I were getting started with Svelte we noticed there was plenty of wrapper libraries, but very few that lean into the benefits of Svelte specifically. We wanted something like Mantine from the React world.

    We're still early days (we've open source and public for about a month) but the feedback has been really positive. The one thing to note is we pair heavily with Tailwind, so if that's not your jam the library may not be for you. However for any sizable app where you're building a design system, we find it extremally helpful and productive.

    Hopefully you can give it a try and it helps out! My username on our Discord is endigo9740 if you need any help!
