At one checkpoint (first photo) we happily thought this would be the last and we could finally roam freely – little did we know this would go on for another few days.

Signing documents and change of guards every few kilometers. We were terribly exhausted after 4 days of this high tension, 24h protection by the pakistani armed forces.

On this day 10 years ago, my friend Peter and I were casing after paramilitary lewis trucks across the hot desert in Balochistan, Pakistan on our motorcycles.

Helmet POV, white truck with armed forces on the back overtaking a crazily overloaded truck. Rugged valley around us.

As we're nearing the launch of the Svelte Society website (~2-3 weeks out) - I'm starting to look for sponsors. Does your company use Svelte? Do you want to show up as a sponsor on the website? Reach out!

Got it!
It might be too niche, but I've been getting a lot of mileage out of Range Slider Pips. Very customizable, nice API, stable – simply does its thing very well.

I'd love to see this without JavaScript, but how is using the Intersection Observer API (an JS API) "no JavaScript required"?

Intersection Observer

Tracks immediate child elements and fires events as they move in and out of view.

that's a great resource, thank you!!
I was wondering, is there a place to submit suggestions for the list? Github Issue? Might be worth mentioning on the site as well.
I also totally understand if you don't want more work by reviewing submissions..

I only had a bunch of test projects or duplicates left, I try to host most stuff on my coolify instance these days (and some projects on netlify). So it was a very easy decision for me.

Looking for a contractor that can help out with content moderation on the new Svelte Society website. It will mostly involve migrating old content and making sure submissions are accepted in a timely fashion. Would be perfect for a student or someone that is Sveltecurious and learning web dev.

SvelteKit async SSR has landed! The future of Svelte is now here. Try it out along with the new remote functions!

See the PR for some unfinished rough edges. Work continues on it while it's behind an experimental flag, but you can now play around with it!

This adds asynchronous SSR to an app that's using the latest version of Svelte (^5.39.3) and has opted in to the Svelte experimental.async option (and, ideally, the SvelteKit experimental.remot...

Yes, that's to expected. Luckily I only need to change a handful of remote form functions.
It felt odd that form did not need a schema, so I welcome this change.

Heads up, #svelte #sveltekit folks: `form()` remote functions got more powerful in sveltekit 2.42.0: it now accepts a schema, and reports back any validation issues. This is not optional, so if you're using `formData` in your `form` functions, you have to add a schema now. github.com/sveltejs/kit...

Many years on the job and I still don’t get it.

I’m coming up on 20 years of profession web development and I still don’t get it sometimes. I tend to measure myself or view work productivity through the lens of “How much code did I write?” and that...

I was always fascinated by the play pause animation on youtube...so I replicated it! It was actually way simpler than i was expecting and it works on all browsers!

Check it out here:

On the train: random developer sits next to me and fires up #Arc browser while I watch @shoptalkshow.com ep #681 discussing the acquisition by Atlassian.
I'm with Chris here: they should just focus on building Arc, and probably drop Dia. Too many people love/loved Arc.

In Portland you can even take your bikes on busses, something you _can't_ do in Vienna, sadly.
