Built a discussion forum into an existing project- decided to just build it myself instead of trying to integrate 3rd party software.
Project already had a full SvelteKit frontend connected to a Directus backend w/ users, data etc.
My first time using tailwind w/ a component library (shad)

The way I got into web dev as a kid was through the Quake 1 and Quake 2 communities - mods, clans, planet quake, etc.
Quake clans had some of the coolest, most avant-garde, stunning, + advanced sites on the internet. They were nerd passion projects.
I still think about the old deathrow.com

Vercel is dropping Node 18.x support. I've got Svelte 3/early SvelteKit projects that work fine as-is. Rather than wrestle with major framework updates, moving them to my basement Coolify server. Here's a thumbnail generator for my mom's (very successful) craft channel a few years ago:

I need to write a blog post about all the silly/cool Svelte OBS stream overlays I've made. But for now, here is a quick video of a prize wheel that has been in use for 3 years on a weekly youtube show. It loads / saves data to the central DB and is controlled via websockets triggered by stream decks

Spent the morning working on Svelte Component to Image - render svelte components as raster images on the fly.
There are some tricks to deploying it to serverless, so I wrote a blog post tutorial.
This is how I render the OG images for my blog, like the one below!
Let me know if you use it.
