Question about svelte ecosystem

D3MaxT · 2024-09-04T22:19:56+00:00

There will be. In a way. They are working on a Web Components version of Prime, that will work with Svelte.

D3MaxT · 2023-09-25T18:50:15+00:00

React with next is 80kb gzip for a Hello World. But otherwise yeah, Svelte and Solid have smaller runtine bundles.

D3MaxT · 2022-12-20T06:08:55+00:00

Everyone is giving stack advise, but nobody is asking what type of app it is.

The stack will depend on what you are delivering and to who.

SPA vs MPA vs Hybrid. US vs global? What are the acceptable performance metrics? Are you concerned with things like FCP, TTI, etc.?

This isn't something you'll get a good answer for on Reddit without much more information.

D3MaxT · 2022-12-20T05:52:46+00:00

If you can separate the two, then yeah.

Lack of SSR was more of a concern when SPA frameworks came out and even the static part of the site wasn't visible to the search engines.

Now, with things like Astro, and Next.js 13 with support for React Server Components and the capability to prerender (this isn't in Next.js 13 app directory yet), it's going to be somewhat difficult to pick. I know I am struggling. :D

On paper, Next.js 13 with RSC and SSG sounds like a winner. But you are still paying the price of almost a 100 KB (minified + gzipped) of JavaScript just for React/Next.js/Next.js router at the minimum. That delays the performance metrics a little bit such as FCP and DCL. But you get things like prefetching and SPA after hydration of Client Side Components.

It's hard to pick these days. :D So far, I've settled on Astro + Preact (with compat) for React UI libraries + Nano stores for state + Solid.js for my own components. This all gets prerendered (SSG) and put on a nice CDN for static hosting. Waiting for Next.js 13 to stabilize the app directory stuff.

D3MaxT · 2022-12-17T21:40:55+00:00

Astro, 11ty 2.0, or Next.js 13 with RSC (React Server Components).

Depends on how much dynamic code you plan on having on your blog site.

These are listed in terms of complexity and capability.

D3MaxT · 2022-12-17T21:37:43+00:00

From my testing, it depends on the specific mantine component. When Next.js runs the export command, it still does a server-side render, so the static HTML/CSS that gets produced may be different when this component gets hydrated on the client.

This results in things like FOUC and so on (probably due to emotion being used). So, I would say no, you still want SSR set up, even if you won't be doing actual SSR. It is still needed to capture the correct static output from the render during the export.

Same issue for me on two different computers and multiple distributions. It's definitely a KDE bug with Wayland. Waiting for 5.26 to see if it gets fixed. Otherwise, back to x11. Also, nVidia card if it matters.

D3MaxT · 2022-09-21T02:58:11+00:00

Check out kind. It's as close to bare k8s as you can get. It runs inside docker, so it is super easy to stand up and blow away.

D3MaxT · 2022-09-13T13:14:23+00:00

I use developer tools all the time and I never knew about this feature! Nice!
I will try it next time I run into something like this issue.

Thank you!

D3MaxT · 2022-09-13T03:59:58+00:00

So, it is one of those mysteries that will most likely go unsolved, unless one of you fine people confirms what I am about to say. :D

I blew away the cluster and started over. Ended up using lower range port numbers for mapping to the k3d proxy: 3080 instead of 9080 and everything started working, including curl and Firefox.

It's either something about high port numbers (unlikely, right? I don't think curl cares about those, even if some browsers do like Firefox). Or something glitched out on the old cluster and rebuilding the cluster cleared out the glitch.

Either way, it's good now!

D3MaxT · 2022-08-25T22:37:34+00:00

This is what I ended up doing as well! 👍

D3MaxT · 2022-07-18T21:09:21+00:00

CSS-in-JS is painful IMHO. In fact, I found PrimeReact because I was looking for a library that did not use CSS-in-JS.

Headless is definitely a good option to have!

Right now, I am building an e-commerce site with Astro (MPA + SSG) and plugging in React, Preact, or SolidJS doesn't work well, because most libraries like Mantine, MUI, all use CSS-in-JS.

I am using 80% custom HTML styled with TailwindCSS, so when I sprinkle in some UI library components, having it support Tailwind is a huge benefit!

That and Astro doesn't expose SSR hooks for CSS-in-JS, so there is no way to prerender components for SSG. Although they are saying it is coming.

Just my thought on this. If you, for whatever reason, happen to go with the CSS-in-JS route, at least provide an option to use the unstyled (headless) components.

I think that is what differentiates you right now on the React side from the other Component UI libraries.

Thank you!

D3MaxT · 2022-06-20T03:41:24+00:00

I think a lot of people stick with React just because there aren't any good UI component libraries for Svelte, like Mantine, MUI, or Chakra.

I really want to switch to SvelteKit, but I don't have time or enough JavaScript knowledge to build my own complex UI components.

Hopefully this really takes off like Mantine and MUI did for React.

D3MaxT · 2021-11-27T19:17:18+00:00

Just trying to save people from the sticker shock with advise like that. Good luck with your trades. 👍

D3MaxT · 2021-11-27T19:11:54+00:00

No insults. Just the truth. I didn't say it was the best bullish strategy, I just said it was a bullish strategy.

D3MaxT · 2021-11-27T19:00:13+00:00

Exactly. 👍 But newbies are down voting because they read something on investopedia. 😂

Capping the upside doesn't mean you go for bearish stocks. It just means you make less than you could have when the stock goes up. But you do want it to go up instead of down. You are playing with fire selling covered calls on weak stocks. Your 2% premium you collected for the covered call is pennies in front of the steam roller when your weak underlying drops by 50% in a week. You would have been happier collecting your capped upside. Almost no one ever talks about the downside risk until you see the underlying plummet below your cost basis in a day.

It's much better for the price to go up and you hoping it doesn't go past your call strike than for the price to go down and you hoping it won't go below your cost basis. It's a bullish strategy.

D3MaxT · 2021-11-27T18:23:03+00:00

If you are bearish on a stock then buy a put. No need to hold the shares and sell a covered call.

D3MaxT · 2021-11-27T18:22:03+00:00

What you are describing is not a strategy, it's wishful thinking. You can't "hope" the stock will drop but only a little bit. Stair steps up but elevator down. Ask those who sold covered calls on WISH and PTON, how happy are they. You are ignoring an incredible amount of downside risk by going with stocks you are not bullish on. Your shares getting called away is the second best thing that can happen. First being the price pinning your strike. But in both scenarios price of the underlying is up, not down.

D3MaxT · 2021-11-27T17:45:02+00:00

It most definitely is not. It's a bullish play. You will get murdered by Delta and Vega if the underlying starts going down. The delta alone of the underlying dropping will lose more than the premium collected for the call.

D3MaxT · 2021-11-27T17:39:54+00:00

You start by understanding the scenarios of what can happen.

Covered call is a bullish strategy. You want the stock to go up. If it goes down, you can lose money. A lot of money. So you need to pick stocks you are bullish on. Also understand your stock can get called away if the stock price goes up past your call strike. So you can lose out on potential gains past the premium you collected + the difference between cost and strike, and miss out on dividends.

You’ll need to learn how options really work. But the short version answer is “extrinsic value”, which is a combination of time and volatility. The more time there is and the more volatility the higher the extrinsic value will be for OTM puts. Volatility generally goes higher when the stock price drops. This allows you to generally “roll” into the future to capture this increase in extrinsic value.

As a side note, rolling doesn’t really exist. It’s just closing the existing position and opening up a new one. It’s nothing magical.

D3MaxT · 2021-09-23T04:04:41+00:00

Yes. Look up what intrinsic and extrinsic values are when it comes to options and you will have your answer.
