We are finally making a svelte skill for claude (and turning the repo into a claude marketplace so you can install the MCP and the skill with two commands). Please check out this PR, there's a zip file with the skill that you can download..try the skill without the MCP and report if it works! 🧡

github.comfeat: claude skill + marketplace by paoloricciuti · Pull Request #110 · sveltejs/mcpThis adds a svelte 5 skill that you can download manually to put in Claude code OR Claude desktop/web, but also makes this repo a Claude marketplace/plugin. This will ease the experience of sharing...

Chap walked into the hotel I’ve been staying at this week, asking to check in for the day. It was about 06:30 when he arrived, and I was having breakfast at a table adjacent to the reception desk.

I’m not really sure what his angle was. It has left me a little unsettled, if I’m honest.

But I did notice that the concierge got straight on the phone once the chap had left for his room.

Chap walked into the hotel I’ve been staying at this week, asking to check in for the day. It was about 06:30 when he arrived, and I was having breakfast at a table adjacent to the reception desk.

It took him about 50 minutes to check in, all told. He got his room for the day.

He then engaged another member of staff in a conversation about physics whilst proffering a book (I didn’t catch the title, but it was fiction).

Chap walked into the hotel I’ve been staying at this week, asking to check in for the day. It was about 06:30 when he arrived, and I was having breakfast at a table adjacent to the reception desk.

His payment cards were in his Apple Wallet, but he needed a physical card to check in.

In the end, he went on line, paid for the room, and then gave the concierge the booking reference. The name on the reference didn’t match the one he’d given to her.

Chap walked into the hotel I’ve been staying at this week, asking to check in for the day. It was about 06:30 when he arrived, and I was having breakfast at a table adjacent to the reception desk.

He grabbed a glass of cranberry juice from the breakfast buffet at one point, but dropped it and it smashed. He then proceeded to explain to the cleaners that his hands were too big and his arms too long.

The concierge explained that she couldn’t check him in if he had no ID. He’d got his iPhone out to show her photos of bills and travel documents (not current it seemed).

Keep in mind this chap was very tired and claimed to have traveled from Shanghai.

There was then a lengthy conversation that meandered all over the place: who he used to work for, which countries he had been to, what his interests were, the fact he owned a flat in Tower Hill (about 10 minutes walk away).

The concierge was accommodating and found a room that he could have for the day, and asked for ID.

He had nothing except the clothes he stood up in, an iPhone, a laptop, a bag with a book, and a Tupperware box. No passport, no driving license, no credit/debit cards.

Chap walked into the hotel I’ve been staying at this week, asking to check in for the day. It was about 06:30 when he arrived, and I was having breakfast at a table adjacent to the reception desk.

He claimed he’d taken three flights from Shanghai, all of which had been delayed. He claimed that he had been travelling for 40+ hours, was tired and wanted to sleep.

The parallax effect on multiple the scrolling signs in the Circle Line carriages is pretty cool.

I’ve only ever not finished a book I’m reading once before this week, but I’ve stopped two in as many days. #books #reading #kindle

The other I’m not sure about, but it was just so weirdly constructed that AI had to have had a hand in the process somewhere.

Thankfully both were samples downloaded from the Kindle Store. But therein also lies the problem.

One was AI generated. It still had markdown notation in parts of the text, and all the characters had the same voice.

Listening to my wife go through a home insurance policy almost line by line with a call centre agent before agreeing to the quote is bringing me more pleasure that it should.

So impressed with @valibot.dev - schemas have become the source of truth for my DTO types, both in and out. Validation in #JavaScript / #TypeScript has never been easier.

I remember when #JavaScript was released. I had a play and thought it was a toy language. Put it aside and didn’t think about it again.

I came back to #JavaScript again, but this time through #TypeScript, and loved it.

It’s not the language, it how the language models data.

I came back to #JavaScript through the lens of #JQuery when I was developing Ruby on Rails applications, and hated it.

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.

Gently building a JSON:API conformant RESTful API with #SvelteKit and +server.ts endpoints only (with @valibot.dev and @mongodb.bsky.social). It had become a morning meditation, and I’m loving it.

I’ve never been a fan of 3rd-party validation libraries, but I’m loving @valibot.dev in SvelteKit’s +server.ts endpoints. #sveltekit #validation
