  Here's how I created a PR for the Gitpod website in just a few minutes. This website was built using Sveltekit to generate static pages hosted by Netlify.

• I like Svelte but...!
  dev.to | 2021-10-18

  I decided to play with SvelteKit source and see what's up... My hours of time were wasted because of the poor documentation. I created a PR and explained very well, step by step to how to set up Svelte to develop it. Literally, some people came and said (Ah I don't understand it, the old version was better). You can be the judge. Then a maintainer came and applied his own version. Yes, the old version became better but it's not the same. I was the one having the problem, not a monster senior developer.

• What do I gain by using SvelteKit over just Svelte?

  You can with the static adapter https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/tree/master/packages/adapter-static .

• Custom modes when building in SvelteKit

  And then follow this workaround to provide the mode to Vite in the absence of svelte-kit having it in the CI.

• Rakkas: Next.js alternative powered by Vite
  dev.to | 2021-10-14

  Rakkas is a MIT-licensed React framework similar to Next.js, it's not a clone. In fact, if you're familiar with Svelte -a user interface framework (like React or Vue)- many of Rakkas's features are inspired by SvelteKit, Svelte's web application building tool.

• How I Redesigned My Website With SvelteKit
  dev.to | 2021-10-07

  So after using Sapper for some time, I decided to move my website to SvelteKit. I remember saying that I would not move to SvelteKit till they hit version 1 but the framework looks too promising. It had features which I needed and those features weren't in Sapper.

• My new website!
  dev.to | 2021-10-02

  I really wanted to make my new website using SvelteKit, and possibly Supabase. SvelteKit is an amazing framework and I love using it, I found it super easy to learn, since Svelte is basically just HTML, CSS and JS (optional TypeScript) with a couple of fancy features sprinkled on top. While it is easy to learn, it also doesn't have any CMS features. So I added Netlify CMS, and planned on hosting it on Netlify. It was great and all, but using .md files with the adapter-static for SvelteKit proved to be annoying at some times.

• How on earth do I deploy sveltekit thru node? (And how to figure this out without asking here?)
  reddit.com/r/sveltejs | 2021-10-01

  Sure! I use this: https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/tree/master/packages/adapter-static

• I made a site that lets you browse MU by release year

  Thanks! I’m getting the data from Marvel’s official API and displaying it on a website I coded using the SvelteKit application framework.

• Svelte best practises and design patterns
  reddit.com/r/sveltejs | 2021-09-23

  Svelte handles complex animation, so there's no need for that. Stores pretty much handle what vuex or redux would do. Everything else you need to build an app like routing, SSR, prerendering, backend, etc... is handled by SvelteKit. User-made components do exist for most edge-cases, but you'll have to look pretty hard since they are sort of just spread out over GitHub due to svelte's low popularity among frameworks.

• Journey to Svelte (through Gatsby)
  dev.to | 2021-09-22

  By that time, we had some troubles with virtual dom itself in our custom rich text editor that we based on slate - it was getting a bit laggy when creating huge financial documents (they usually have enormous tables and a lot of infographics) -so we were already thinking about other options and that’s where svelte comes into the light - especially sapper which was de facto default framework to be used with svelte at that time (SvelteKit wasn’t even announced).
