I’m tired of seeing DeepL replacing curly quotes with straight quotes and forcing Oxford commas. This kind of thing should be included in the app preferences. 🫤

TypeScript-flavoured JavaScript has great benefits, including improved readability and maintainability, strict typing and proper commenting. Svelte and Prism have both adopted this approach by dropping TS. I think more should follow suit.

Claude would respond: You’re absolutely right! Typography matters a lot in developer documentation. Here are a few reasons why...

The RippleJS docs are live, and I’m happy because they chose a sans-serif font! 👍 The @svelte.dev docs are hard to read in a serif font, and their font/theme switcher doesn’t work when cookies are disabled. 👎

Now, `ncu` has `cooldown` option and @pnpm.io has `minimumReleaseAge` option. I’ve added both to @sveltiacms.app repo. Great work, folks!

Many features in the current version of GitHub Mobile are broken. For example, when selecting Issues or Pull Requests displays *all* the issues or PRs across the GitHub universe, not just my own. It’s useless but pretty much interesting, actually.

You've probably heard about the supply chain attack that affected a number of widely-used npm packages today.

tl;dr: Don't panic. Notes:

1. Svelte, SvelteKit and their associated packages are not vulnerable to this attack, as they do not use any of the compromised dependencies in the browser

A quick reminder: SvelteKit 2.36.3 released 2 days ago contains a fix for a security vulnerability in the underlying devalue library. If you’re using SvelteKit, it’s a good idea to update to the latest version.

Maybe I’ve shared this before 😅 Anyway, for that reason, I always feel sad when I write CSS.

JSSS also had variables, basic media queries, and equivalents of calc() and any()… because it’s JavaScript.

Functions were available in JSSS proposed in 1996 thanks to Brendan Eich. It’s a shame we had to wait 3 decades for CSS to get the same feature 😭

All types in @sveltiacms.app are written in TS-flavoured JSDoc. The build script first converts the typedef file to a .d.ts file while adding proper deprecated tags. It then converts the file to a JSON schema. This process can easily be automated thanks to @vite.dev’s plugin system.
