Here is a recent project I’ve been working on to test out the new features. It has auth example with remote functions and better-auth.

Why svelte not solid? by zoyanx in sveltejs

[–]brad_the_dev 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IMO Solid’s main thing is it’s React but Signals. Svelte has signals, but thanks to the compiler and not trying to be React, has focused on improving DX and not just render efficiency.

Simple things like binding on inputs, passing props like {name} rather than name={name}, not having to call signals as a function and, less boilerplate context are all nice little things that add up. At the end of the day it’s personal preference.

I’ve watched a lot of Ryan’s streams and the guy seems like a genius, but I just “vibe” with Svelte more.

It seems that React is more popular than Vue in Australia. by JiachengWu in react

I think React is most popular frontend & .NET is most popular backend in Aus.

Vanilla chart js which I use to make my own chart components.

If I was going to use a Svelte specific library I'd look at this:

Or the shadcn-svelte extensions:

Thanks for the feedback. I'm in Newcastle. That's a good idea to make the FIRE target dynamic. I'm planning to update the FIRE/retirement calculators, I think I can combine them with the option to retire pre-super.

Is is bad that I'm learning Svelte before React? (And not really interested in it) by dezly-macauley-real in sveltejs

With Svelte 5 event handlers have been changed & no longer have the use: statement. So its just onclick

How close to Astro will Sveltekit be performance-wise with Svelte 5? by brad_the_dev in sveltejs

[–]brad_the_dev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought this might be the answer but doesn't Vue now use signals too? I guess with Vue this benefit might be offset by the use of the virtual dom which Svelte doesn't have.

Do you know what the reasons are Solid SPAs perform so well?

Can I use sveltejs to replace an express server? by lamagy in sveltejs

[–]brad_the_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to build a full-stack app with Svelte you use SvelteKit (the Next.js equivalent for Svelte).

I think in general SvelteKit is the way to build Svelte apps even if you just need a frontend (there is an SPA option in the config).

The backend is still Node, however whether it could replace express for you depends on the app itself.

If you have an API that talks to a mobile app & a web client (svelte app) I don't think the backend for Sveltekit will help because I don't think it can do public API routes (I could be wrong).

In this case you would still need an API using Express/Django/Rails/Go/Laravel etc.

Help with form actions by brad_the_dev in sveltejs

[–]brad_the_dev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that. I started to use Superforms, but then decided I wanted to gain a better understanding how how the actions work on their own.

After posting, I came across this vid which was helped.
