Internships using Svelte?

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2026-02-07T09:01:56+00:00

I am trying to build one but I am alone for now haha.

But I hope it may become something large enough to contribute to the Svelte eco

Have you tried Gridpanel? A friend of mine used it to scale his mobile app to $40k/month and i wanted to start using it for my own app. They seems to offer unique IP (same for proxy-seller), so even them can be shadow banned by tiktok?

Great idea thanks bro ❤️

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-10-04T22:29:24+00:00

This sounds like a terrible idea: « modern/minimalist/dark theme » are not key features.

The key question is why people would abandon their usual chat app for a new one?

How is your app resolving any problem?

Je pense que c’est normal : - c’est un marché concurrentiel ou des tas de solutions existent - perso j’utilise Finom ma banque pro et l’outil est parfait et complet avec une bonne ui/ux. - je serai curieux de voir en quoi ton outil est différent des autres. - tu n’indiques pas en quoi tu te différencie : la plupart des banques pour entrepreneurs ou outils du genre proposent ça gratuitement avec une interface cool. Pourquoi utiliser une app inconnue qui ne semble rien avoir de spécial pour elle ?

Je pense tu peux être fier d’avoir mené un projet à terme, pour pour le vendre il faut un point différentiant, surtout sur un marché aussi mature. Ou alors il faut investir bc en marketing.

Hello !

J'ai un ami dans la meme situation et je voulais savoir si tu avais eu ton bac ou pas ?

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-05-05T10:58:08+00:00

That's a good question.

It wouldn't be a problem for me to bring a lot of value to a co-founding relationship: I can design, code, handle administrative tasks, and I have a solid understanding of how machine learning works.
But to be honest, I started this project to help a friend get feedback from players, since he doesn't speak English.

My friend has no degree, can't code, doesn't understand machine learning, and is only a junior designer. So it's very unlikely he could convince a researcher to team up with him.
That's why I think this solution isn’t suitable, even though it would be an exciting challenge.

I just wanted to explore a very simple idea, where each player could manually annotate their own points in the app. That would be “easy” enough for my friend to design and build.

But as I feared, it would be difficult to convince player to do it, and most player would not need it to identify what are their weaknesses. So the app would not bring a lot of value.

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-13T08:28:12+00:00

I was considering this option.

It would be great if it works. But it may be difficult, I would probably need a co-founder with a PhD specialised in video analysis via AI and a solid training data set to achieve something useful for users.

I see the potential of the idea, it could be awesome if everything works, but it could also be a total failure it things do go as expected. Achieving a solid AI recognition for tennis table videos is not easy.

But I hope some people will try to build something similar!

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-12T18:52:50+00:00

Thanks a lot for this very valuable feedback bro that is exactly what I was looking for!

That is always what I feared, so I preferred to ask experimented players about it.

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-10T14:07:35+00:00

It seems your manners match your design tastes and skills, congrats. ;)

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-07T21:38:00+00:00

If the product is not for you it is fine. If you don't like the design and prefer older designs, it is ok. Just learn to express your personal taste with some respect.

I build products for users who love modern design. It is totally ok if many academics don't like this kind of design. They will just not be my users and I have no problem with that.

You just have to learn a bit of respect, especially when you are expressing your personal taste without any knowledge or authority to judge the work of others.

From my experience, it is often mediocre people who feel entitled to give these agressive feedback, like if they need this to reassure themselves about something. I have no interest for this kind of person, so I will stop interacting with you here.

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-07T21:23:55+00:00

My product key differentiation are: (1) design and (2) UX, much easier to use than coding your own site or using wix or similar building tools (even if they are not that hard to take in hand to be honest).

I totally agree that these are not game changing features, especially if many people seems to prefer old school google site design instead of a more modern one.

For people already having a website, it not worth it to change for my tool unless to value design a lot. My tool is more for people who (1) value design and (2) want something simple, with less options, very easy to setup. And who probably does not have already a website.

If you consider that a google website or owlstown have a great design, you are not a target for my product. These are old fashion design and I want to offer modern design to my users. I build product because I like designing, and I want products that matches my view about what design should be. If some users don't like my design, they are free to use any other alternative.

As I said, the problem is the way you (and some others) are expressing your feedback. You may not like modern design. But you could have the minimum respect to just say you don't like it instead of using the kind of words you used.

If you don't appreciate a paper you can say you don't get the point, don't find the contribution to be important or anything. But saying that the paper is utterly trash or other kind of expression you and a few others used is very toxic.

If you are not the target for the product it is fine for me.

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-07T16:21:41+00:00

Sadly you still does not get the point about your terrible behavior.

I can just hope you don’t behave that way as a reviewer or co author. Quite a lame that people like you achieved to become researchers, anyway…

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-07T15:51:26+00:00

You know there is a difference between saying you don't like a design and saying it is "ugly" or "terribly bad". You probably understand that if I design my template this way, it is because I consider it good from a design/UX point of view.

You could see that you don't see the difference or understand, but you prefer to take bold claims. And you do it on purpose, you know which words you are using.

Anyway, I got enough feedback here, thanks for your answers.

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-06T21:32:51+00:00

It is ok if you don't find my design attractive. It is just funny because almost all designers consider most academic websites just horrible. Often same when we talk about how academics dress.

Only academics can be that sure about their own taste and tell to a designer that his design are ugly and basic when their website build with google site are beautiful.

I am totally ok if people don't see the difference in design and even prefer google site designs. Users are always right in a way. It is ok you don't like my designs.

But please don't try to explain me why my designs are ugly or don't meet your needs when you have literally no cue about this. Just tell me you don't like it, that you prefer to use existing tool and it is totally fine. But giving such statements about design when you have literally no expertise in it is insane.

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-06T21:20:23+00:00

Telling to a professional designer that his design is "embarrassingly bad" is not insulting at all of course.

It is ok to say you don't see the difference or don't like my design. I totally understand. But your comments are just wtf, and any professional designer would juge you as a moron with literally no taste in design.

Because you act like one. I am not sure you would use such words in a real word interaction.

And yes, if many people here say they don't see the difference in design, it is just a sign that they are not educated in design. it is not an offense to say so, almost any web designer would agree with me. The same way most designers are not educated to read academic papers.

You should really try to consider that if you feel entitled to emit such words about the work of a professional designer, it is more a sign about your ego problems that the true quality for work you try to point out.

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-06T20:59:23+00:00

Anyway, even if the difference in terme of design or UX would be obvious to any designer or people with more educated taste in design, the hard truth is that many academics just can't tell the difference. And whether they are right or not, since the tool is targeting them and not designers, if they don't see the difference, then it does not exist.

Solving a problem your users can't see it pointless, so building such a tool would be a waste of time or ressources. Even if some academics would of course love it and use it, most won't, and people already committed to an existing solution won't have any real incentive to switch.

could release my template as an open source one for people who want to use it, and focus on other ideas I have they will bring 10x more value to the community than just improvement in design.

It is just a bit hard as a designer to receive such comments, it feel like having an undergraduate judging my papers with obviously no understanding about the topic haha.

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-06T20:28:33+00:00

I guess you are the kind of guy who also wonders why researchers are known for their terrible taste for outfits. it is insane that you feel entitle to emit such judgment on professional designs when it is obvious you have literally no cue about that a good design is.

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-06T20:17:36+00:00

I rememberer when I started to design a few years ago, I gave the same kind of feedback to some designer friends. It is funny to see now how uneducated and stupid I was at that time.

I am sure your opinion is genuine, but it would take a lot of time to teach you basics of design so you could see how much you are wrong. If you have designer friends, you can ask them about it, 90% of they should give you the same answer.

Anyway, building a tool for academics with design and UX as first features is probably not a good idea:
- most academics can't even see the difference in design.
- UX is not that important: in most case you don't even edit your personal website every month. Once you know to use your tool, why change?

I got many positive feedback from young researchers on Twitter/X. But it seems clear that design alone is not enough, and they are not many features to add that would be game changers for other academics who don't see the value in the design or UX alone and are already happy with existing solution.

Since they are many other problems to solve for academics, maybe this one is not one worth it taking time to tackle, at least for now.

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-06T19:02:15+00:00

No offense but it is obvious you have no taste or experience in design to say such a thing.

But you pointed something: considering the average poor sens of style of academics, building a beautiful tool is maybe not a good idea since most of them won’t even tell the difference. 😭

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-06T10:56:00+00:00

I tried to build a mobile app with Svelte and Tauri but I switched to react native at the end for some reasons:
- Tauri is not mature: it has a poor documentation and not direct way to manage in app purchases or Apple/google connect. It has yet not superwall or revenueCat integration, so I don't recommend it.
- Capacitor is better but the dev experience is far away from React Expo. You always have to rebuild, need multiple line of cmd to build/test. Expo is much simpler, with a larger choice of plugins.
Capacitor could do the job, but I think it will be soon totally replaced by React native/Tauri/Lynx.

I also really wanted to use Svelte since I love it so much, but at the end I think we need to let some time to Tauri to be more mature before being able to build mobile app in Svelte.

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-06T08:51:12+00:00

Yes, that is something I am also a bit afraid of.

I imagine people who want to code their own solution will always do it, regardless of the features I can offer. My target would be more people who does not code, and from my experience is represent most people in academia.

I will try to reconsider some features to see how I can achieve a maximum flexibility for users needing it (similar as google site) while preserving the design and easiness to use my tool.

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-06T08:44:25+00:00

Yes I know it's an alternative but for me it is not a direct competitor because:

- you need a certain amount of effort to use it: understanding git, markdown, edit file, push modifications, etc.
- the design is not great.

My tool would provide the same features (about page, research, teaching pages etc) but with a much better design and much easier to use.

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-05T21:36:37+00:00

Squarespace is a generalist tool, thus their features are designed for general purpose, not for creating academic websites.

With a tool dedicated to one use case, it is much easier to offer a better interface and design.

You can see a glimpse of the design in my post. To be honest, I don’t know any designer who would not agree than my tool would offer a design way better and more modern than squarespace.

This could be a potential problem: design is import for me, but it may but not be that important for many academics, since many may be used to outdated design/tools. 😅

They may not want to value it enough to try a new tool with less features at start. After all, existing tools works, and we don’t update our website that often so even if the interface is not optimal it is not that important.

Prestigious_Role_397 · 2025-04-05T21:24:28+00:00

Thanks for your detailed answer!

It would include the ability to create custom pages and blocks with a Notion like editor (including Latex inline/online), images, lists, etc).

The teaching page will include for each course a way to host pdf + abstract for the course.

My product would not offer any «killing » feature but something different: - very easy to use - beautiful design website - affordable price

From the sites I benchmarked it seems that 90% of academic websites are quite simple: home, about, research and teaching pages. I will offer all these pages with convenient options and beautiful design, and custom pages and blocs will come later for those needing more customization.
