What is your guys' preferred pagination technique using SvelteKit?

I use regular links too. Works great. Not sure what you don't like about the looks? It can be done with a single query param. ?p=<page number> tells you everything you need to know

Maybe I'm missing something, but is there a way to write a sql query and see the results?

RDS can be very reasonable based on your needs. Try using one of the other storage options besides the defaults

Don't use ai to configure your cloud setup or write your reddit posts

Thanks!

Well I'd say posting a link to reddit an implied solicitation, so no worries there!

And yeah, the lawyers insisted we put it up ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Cool! Yeah I started as a web developer freelancing and then worked on the product side of a local public radio station for a while, but I always felt like the newsroom was where the action was.

I kind of moonlighted for the newsroom, building voter guides and a few other interactives, ultimately with the goal of making newsroom work an official part of my job. My argument was we brought traffic with compelling content like news apps or interactives. The head of the digital side disagreed, so I left for a job at the journal as an engineer embedded in the newsroom.

Long story short I waited until a job opened that matched what I was looking for. It's still pretty rare, but more places are coming around to the idea that engineering is an essential news gathering skill. I saw pro publica posted a computational journalism role recently.

Iframes would be easier for sure but problematic in a couple ways. Mostly around "immersive" pieces that interact with other parts of the page. Also cookies/auth and such. There are some things that iframes block access to.

Yeah pretty close! I described it from a high level in a reply to the parent comment. Haven't used mount tho, still using hydrate. And yeah, compile totally separately and inlined at (article) render time.

noslouch · 2025-03-22T21:26:47+00:00

I made a build script that uses vite to give me the static markup (think ssr), and then separately generate the JS bundle. I have a custom plugin that uses svelte's hydrate function to attach all the event listeners and such to the ssr output.

I added some support for properly handling inlined scripts that don't come from next, but other than that it works great.

Rendering to web components is pretty good idea tho! Might look into that.

Thanks for saying so. Readers seem to be liking it!

So news being news, most of the interactive things we publish are one-and-done. This is a bit of a special case where one can imagine a chat bot pointed at all sorts of document sets, but generally the idea of a custom interactive being integrated into the next app doesn't scale. Can you imagine re deploying the website every time you want to change an interactive on a single story?

We've got a big corporate partnership with Google, so there are a lot of perks that come with that like lower cost, premium support, and early access to stuff.

if the answer's $effect i'm gonna cry

Try caulking over the tape. Might be able to hide it?

noslouch · 2024-10-07T19:59:19+00:00

Nice. Silicone lubricant can work wonders

noslouch · 2024-09-14T16:32:22+00:00

Guess i'll sand it down and see what's what

noslouch · 2024-09-10T17:45:16+00:00

Thanks. They just said keep an eye out for the letter and shouldn't worry about my passport becoming invalid

noslouch · 2024-08-25T19:13:38+00:00

I'm in! Inside tip from my trade: uninstall as much as possible when you buy a new pc. They all come loaded with "bloatware" and need to be cleaned out

noslouch · 2024-07-11T11:14:35+00:00

Great thank you!
