What I find funny is that YouTube knows who I am and where I live (English-speaking Canada), but every now and then I go through a short time period (a few days) where most of the ads are in French (for Canada).

I also wonder how many paid users they have. Seems like the starting price is USD $12/mo, which IIRC, costs more than my Office 365 Personal subscription.

I had a video game store when Hackers came out, and one of my regulars, a kid, came in and said he wanted to get a modem so he could start hacking just like in the movie. I don't know that anyone walking out of Hamilton wants to be Ham

You make it sound like none of these things exist. Sveltekit is part of the NodeJS ecosystem, and there are mature libraries that do many of those things. The only thing is that Sveltekit isn't force feeding any particular library down

For the background jobs, you can implement that in the hooks file using your node scheduling library of choice.

Sounds like SvelteJS is a better option for you than Sveltekit.

If the Svelte subreddit is any indicator, a lot of Sveltekit devs don't use the Sveltekit back end. Most like to use serverless and 3rd party services for things like authentication and data storage.

Who is shunning that person? Nobody's trying to get them fired or boycotted, so where is this "cancelling" happening?

This is great. I also made an "audience of one" list manager that I've been using for over a year. It's very specific to my personal preferences (so very different from what you built) and like yours, desktop only.

I've been using Sveltekit, which offers a back end server if you use their `node-adapter`. Sveltekit uses an intuitive file based routing system, so for side projects at least, you can build out an app/POC very quickly. Personally

Yes, it's very similar to that. I looked at Pollen a while back to see if there were any ideas I missed, but while Pollen has a different approach to variable naming, it was very similar to what I do.

With Svelte, I just maintain a small reset file and maintain a list of native CSS variables that I can use from my Svelte components. I have not personally found the need to use Tailwind because of that.

by slantyyz 5y ago
If you're using Svelte, you don't really need Tailwind (but are obviously free to use it), especially if you're using your own components. Svelte's styling is already pretty atomic as it is. With Svelte, I use a small gl

When I'm browsing on my phone, I usually find myself opening a site with a "mobile" ui in desktop mode, because the mobile version is usually inferior to the desktop version.

With Sveltekit, you can actually build your back end with it as well. The path based routing is so nice and intuitive (compared to my recollection of Rails 3.x), and if you compile your SvelteKit application with the node adapter, it will i

My favorite feature of Sveltekit is probably the server-side endpoints. It's so easy to create an API using them.
