@nicolesullivan.bsky.socialReposted by @01a08c1a-17d3-7e3c-963f-57f2add25206I’m pleased to see soft navigations count towards LCP. This was an argument I made when I worked on Google Chrome because single page apps can provide much faster UX. Let’s say goodbye to the outdated nonsense metaphors that JS is smog or a traffic jam. It never made sense — now we have the data.
@to be fair the negative split was partly because there was a three minute line for the portaloo at mile 4 😂
@thanks! as it happens, the running club i joined (pptc.org) puts on buses that go straight from my neighbourhood to the staging area, so i'll have a much more relaxed but much less picturesque journey
@it's true! like my coach keeps telling me, you gotta just commit
@ran the staten island half marathon yesterday. last race before the big one on november 1. felt pretty good — goal was to run at marathon pace rather than do a PR — but the prospect of doing it twice in a row is... daunting main takeaway: you should ride the staten island ferry before sunrise
@Music to my ears!
@nice! I've pinged the relevant people internally but no movement yet - will prod again next week
@worth seeing at whichever theatre has the best sound!
@saw Behemoth! at the new york film festival and wondering if there's anything tony gilroy can't do. fucking brilliant
@> If the web is going to be restructured for machine readability, accessibility experts should be at the forefront Strong agree! So be at the forefront — let's hear the proposals. Because taking cheap potshots at toolmakers who have been banging the a11y drum for years is a heckuva choice.
@Yeah this is very rude @jonathanzong.com @frank.computer! It's also nonsensical. I agree that ideally AI systems would navigate the world as it is, but even if llms.txt and semantic HTML were somehow mutually exclusive (which they're obviously not), both exist to ultimately serve end users.

@another @pngwn.at triumph!

@sadly a dealbreaker for us, at least when it comes to docs. svelte.dev/docs/svelte uses server-rendered twinkleplop (twinkleplop.pngwn.workers.dev); hopefully it can gain a CSS-only mode one day.
incredibly useful for code editors though!
@just wish CSS highlighting didn't need JS! it's so close to being a perfect solution but the 100ms FOUHC on this site (and on MDN, etc) makes my eye twitch, you can't unsee it
@likewise! so happy you're coming, it's going to be a blast
@it seems we caught the orange wave, which took me by surprise a bit. i didn't think anyone really cared about frameworks any more! warms the cockles news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4992...
![Hey everyone, Rich from the Svelte team here. Coordinating all the moving parts for yesterday's launch (last few PRs, doc updates and redirects, CLI release, launch blog post...) turned out to be a bit of a slog so I'll confess I turned off my laptop and went for a beer as soon as it was done instead of sticking around to engage in HN threads and Reddit and so on.
Honestly, I didn't expect the release to generate much conversation at all. There's a lot less focus/interest in front-end frameworks generally these days, for obvious reasons, so I figured the median reaction would be 'oh, the Svelte team are still shipping? good for them' and not much more. It's a joy to see the conversation here whether it's from happy users, or people who prefer different things, or people who have fully outsourced the writing-the-code bit to LLMs and straight up don't care about the underlying tools any more.
Which I totally understand! As framework authors we're very persnickety about the details of the code, so we've been on the slower end of the LLM adoption curve, but even we're starting to delegate more of the work to agents. If you're prompting an app into existence it's natural not to care that much about the particulars. But a question I've seen several times here, and in the zeitgeist more generally — 'in a world of agents why should I care about Svelte vs React vs whatever?' — deserves an answer.
And it's this: your app will be _better_ if you use Svelte. Your JavaScript bundle will use fewer bytes, your server-side rendering will take fewer milliseconds, and your users will reap the benefits: faster, more efficient apps. For all that the agentic revolution has created a huge _quantity_ of software, the _quality_ of the average app stubbornly refuses to budge. If anything, software is becoming less reliable. I think we've all felt that. Using a framework that treats things like accessibility ...
