What about SvelteKit?
- NayamAmarshe 2y agoI'm not a fan of Svelte's cryptic syntax and constant changes. They started with something simple, which is why I decided to build upscayl.org's simple website with SvelteKit but now it's simply too much of a hassle when I compare it with Next.js. They changed their whole state management system. It's like using a totally new framework now and it looks very much like React which is strange because Svelte was supposed to not be like React and offer simplicity in code. I think the best contender right now Solid.js but it needs some financial help and the fanciness of Next.js to attract a larger developer base.
- doctor_eval 2y agoAre you talking about svelte 5? (Serious question)
- NayamAmarshe 2y agoYes, the one with runes.
- satvikpendem 2y agoYep, Svelte 5 with Runes was so much like React that I literally asked how it was any different when their announcement first came out [0]. Evan You, the creator of Vue, also noted its similarities to Vue [1]. They kind of answered the question but when actually working with Svelte 5, it simply feels like a reskin of React.

- doctor_eval 2y agoYeah I was a huge fan of Svelte 4. I haven’t used react at all, but I took one look at svelte 5 and I just felt sad. I’ve gone back to Vue for now.
- 9dev 2y agoI share your frustration around the constantly high amount of changes in fundamental concepts, but overall I still feel like SvelteKit gets lots of things right that Next doesn’t.
- NayamAmarshe 2y agoI think SolidStart framework brings Svelte's and React's strong points together very well. I'm really interested in how it grows, I can say that it has a brighter future than Next or Sveltekit.
- threatofrain 2y agoUnfortunately Solid's velocity has been kinda weak for awhile and it's missing its own hype. At this point Svelte is many many times bigger than Solid.
- quietdev 2y agoSvelte is a ton of magic, which is great if you like that sort of thing but every time I've tried it I've been frustrated and disappointed, and converted the project to something else.
