I wrote my first decent size Svelte app (with a Rails API app backend) last year: https://www.listenaddict.com/ https://www.listenaddict.com/
Of course, what you see is just a tip of the iceberg, having implemented a nice admin and moderator dashboard, keyboard shortcuts, animations, 12 different color themes (in light and dark mode), and more. Svelte just made it all so easy to do. Having done a good bit of React and Angular professionally, and tinkered with Vue, I can safely say (for now) that all I want to do is Svelte. The rest just seem so heavy handed in comparison.
Self promotion: I also run a YouTube channel where I'm slowly building out a Svelte app with Rails API backend. If you're interested in Svelte, please check it out: https://www.youtube.com/user/iamdavidwparker https://www.youtube.com/user/iamdavidwparker
- abraxas 6y agoYour site is brilliant and works really well. I’m also going to check out your YouTube channel.
- davidwparker 6y agoAppreciate it!
- gonzus 6y agoSeconded. I am a back end developer and had a lot of fun watching your Svelte Sapper series; thanks for your work! Quick question: which color scheme are you using in VSCode? It looks a lot like jellybeans for vim, which I love.
- davidwparker 6y agoThanks! I think I'm just using the default dark color theme. (dark+)
- rikroots 6y agoSame here. I've used Svelte on two reasonably hefty personal project sites[1][2] and was pleasantly surprised by how easy they were to build and (now) maintain. The one issue I had with Svelte was Sapper - I didn't get on with it (it wasn't a good fit for either of my projects). SvelteKit was released in beta a couple of days ago - I've no idea how much that changes things. I'm hoping I don't have to relearn a whole bunch of stuff to use the new shiny.

- davidwparker 6y agoWhat was your issue with Sapper? I found it to work great for me, and always interested in others' use cases. I plan on migrating to SvelteKit once it's stable, and may start migrating some of my smaller sites over in the meantime. Also, no need to warn about poetry- more people should write from their heart IMO.
