Loving the experimental remote functions in #SvelteKit. I’m actually really impressed with the DX, although the docs need a little attention (but this is wip). svelte.dev/docs/kit/rem...

Adding response type expectations to `form()` along with validation (I’m using @valibot.dev) feels so natural.

What's lacking in the docs?

I took the `createPost()` example as a reference, but it wasn’t straightforward to work out exactly what was expected, particularly around return and errors. I also had a couple of anomalies (`error()` was always 500, regardless of the status code - not sure if that is a bug, I haven’t checked).

I did work it all out in the end, and there was certainly some joy in the discovery.

Typing the `form()` function itself is a really nice touch, allowing the return expectation to be explicit - this works beautifully with @valibot.dev - but I stumbled across that in the declarations, not the docs.
