State of JavaScript 2024 survey results are out! Among the frontend frameworks: • React is the most used (and complained about) • Svelte has the highest interest and positivity scores • Angular has the highest awareness and lowest interest scores • Vue.js comes in either #2 or #3 across all five categories • Solid has the highest retention score for the fourth year in a row; meanwhile, Vue.js, Preact and Alpine.js flipped HTMX, Quik and React! https://2024.stateofjs.com/en-US/libraries/front-end-frameworks/

If you need state that lives outside of your JavaScript framework, nanostores looks like a good escape hatch. https://github.com/nanostores/nanostores

Syntax podcast finally did an episode covering Svelte 5 and it’s a banger. As I’ve mentioned many times before – the Svelte team absolutely knocked it out of the park with their migration tools. https://youtu.be/t6-znHs8DDM

AI agents are going to reshape how web interfaces are designed. Multi step forms will be a thing of the past. Why have an input form when you can get structured output from natural language? What else will change?

obviously we wish everyone putting their best foot forward the most delightful of ui, but there is just a sliver of comfort knowing that even the top dogs are a work in progress fyi @optimism - on chrome, media queries seem to shrink/squeeze it as you expand the viewport

Any Svelte wizards out there ever had very slow __data.json requests and might know a possible cause of the issue? I'm experiencing the very slow __data.json requests specifically on a certain route in my SvelteKit app deployed on Railway. What I'm seeing: Dashboard __data.json requests are fast (80-470ms) Project routes __data.json requests are consistently slow (8-11 seconds) Regular page loads are fast (10-270ms) Database queries are fast locally and in production (~3-5ms) Using Bun adapter with PostgreSQL database Auth is handled via Lucia I've tried: Optimizing database queries Adding compression for responses Caching session validation Reducing data payload
