Wow! SymbioteNative now supports every Expo package! Which means you can now write Svelte mobile apps making use of any and all Expo packages! docs.symbiote-native.dev/docs/package...

svelte.dev/blog/sveltek...

I can't believe how good the Symbiote Native docs are. They just added support for writing mobile apps in Svelte and the docs are already fully fleshed out! docs.symbiote-native.dev

You can now write mobile apps with Svelte as the UI layer while leveraging the React Native infrastructure!! github.com/OneEyed1366/... This package is already published to npm! It's using a build of an unmerged PR for custom renderers by @paolo.ricciuti.me, but give it a try today!

The two pieces to being able to write React Native in Svelte now exist! There's just one more piece of glue code needed! github.com/OneEyed1366/...

Svelte Summit tickets are coming in the next few days 🎟️ Join the launch list and we’ll email you a discount code when they go live. See you in Ljubljana on November 19–20. → sveltesummit.com/ticket-updates

First peek at Svelte 5 + NativeScript 🚀 Big thanks to @paolo.ricciuti.me, @svelte.dev, @syntax.fm and @mainmatter.com

I’ve created yet another @svelte.dev i18n library, specifically designed for @sveltiacms.app. It replaces svelte-i18n and uses MessageFormat 2 to handle complex pluralization, which is essential for many languages.

🎉 We're excited to finally announce TinyBase v8.1 - the one with native Svelte 5 support. We've got Svelte demos, guides, and a getting-started tool. Links below! This was fun and we want to give a huge shout out to the @svelte.dev community for being so helpful and supportive!

Bar so tiny you need glasses for SvelteKit

Token efficiency of many frameworks vs svelte 5 as baseline

I just took my first brief look at the OpenClaw repository and I was shocked. 5,000 open PRs, 500 dependencies, 250 security issues! 😱 I can't imagine trying to manage a project that gets so popular so quickly.

Who here is on Svelte 4 yet? Curious to hear what is stopping you from upgrading to Svelte 5, and if we can make things any easier here.

SvelteKit 2 now fully supports Vite 8 SvelteKit 3 will require it - giving additional optimizations and functionality. E.g. SvelteKit 3 will use @rolldown.rs hook filters to spend more compilation time in rust and less in JavaScript. And SvelteKit 3 adapters use only rolldown without esbuild

Starting to merge PRs for SvelteKit 3! A long road ahead, but excited to get started! github.com/sveltejs/kit...

Woohoo! My proposal to Interop 2026 was accepted! github.com/web-platform...

Happy to report that the Chatto development instance is now available for testing. Go nuts (but not too nuts, k?)

No biggie - just 1-step better-auth setup for Svelte 🔥. Kudos @jyc.dev. I was really really hoping for this to become reality one day! github.com/sveltejs/cli...

It's official, you can now get paid up to $10,000 for finding security issues in Svelte and SvelteKit! Big thanks to both the security team at Vercel and the Svelte maintainers' group for coming together to make this possible. Learn more: vercel.com/blog/the-ver...

✂️ Knip v5.82.0 is out → Improved support for @svelte.dev + new SvelteKit plugin → In the Editor Extension, quickfix can directly install missing dependency (thanks @alexanderkaran.bsky.social) Enjoy your Sunday 🫖 ☀️

Every time you update your dependencies and see that your deps tree gets slimmer, there is a high chance you're enjoying the relentless work of James or other folks from the @e18e.dev community that he inspired to get into action. Consider sponsoring him if you care about the JavaScript ecosystem.

I got a robot

Guys I'm not making this up...I asked Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok what frontend framework they would pick if they only could pick the one they would enjoy writing more. They ALL said Svelte 🧡 Do your LLM a favor, switch to Svelte 🧡

Thankful to the amazing unsung heroes of open source development doing great work like @cyberalien.dev Check out how much smaller `@iconify/tailwind4` has gotten with the latest release!

Excited to see the Svelte custom rendering work get a sponsor! Additional sponsors are still required to fund the project, which will let Svelte run with Lynx JS

A historic first today as Opus 4.5 scores 100% on SvelteBench - the first model to do so. We're hard at work on the next version of SvelteBench that will use an agentic approach, if you have feedback, submit it here: github.com/khromov/svel... #svelte #ai

LLMs have finally stopped recommending React. Nature is healing 🧡

The glob library on npm currently has a CVE. It's entirely predictable since it has 26 dependencies. If you're getting a security warning from glob it's a good time to see if you can switch to a lighter dependency such as tinyglobby or Node's built-in glob functionality: nodejs.org/api/fs.html#...

When reducing dependencies in Svelte projects, I was really surprised how many dependencies the typical glob library has and ended up switching most of the JS ecosystem to tinyglobby once it became available. With one final PR pending, the Svelte ecosystem is nearly free of extra glob dependencies!

SvelteKit 3 / Vite 8 will be built on rolldown. You can use it now if you're adventurous! If you're not using the new remote functions, it largely works without issue and is much faster. We'd love help in discovering any bugs that haven't been unearthed yet! Post them at github.com/vitejs/rolld...

apps.apple.com was rewritten in svelte ⚡🧡

Yes! Let's set the record straight. Biome has very little support for Svelte. It's marketing gone overboard. It has no Svelte-specific rules that I'm aware of. I don't think it will ever be a competitive offering. My eyes are on oxlint, which is working towards being able to run eslint-plugin-svelte

i rewrote a popular next.js site in svelte. before/after. <3 svelte

New Kickstarter just dropped. I'm tempted to get one to see how it compares to the electric treadmill I have at my desk. www.kickstarter.com/projects/981...

I'm a bit pleased to learn that Cloudflare found SvelteKit to be nearly an order of magnitude faster than Next.js. We've invested in Svelte's speed, but not SvelteKit's, so I suspect there's still much more room for improvement.

lil' treat for all you weekend builders: Svelte now has an official MCP server, courtesy of resident bot wranglers @paolo.ricciuti.me and @khromov.se 🤖 it gives your LLM access to docs and compiler-driven diagnostics — give it a spin and let us know how you get on! svelte.dev/docs/mcp/ove...

The Svelte train is approaching 300km/h.
