@29decibel Very cool
@[email protected] I'd say those are designed for people that already know how to use the stuff and don't want to keep writing the same boilerplate. Not something you should use if you're learning because yeah it's overwhelming.
@freeplay It handles CSS the best out of any framework I've tried. It's so darn simple.
@jakelazaroff @astro
Cool blog by the way! I love these sorts of "TIL" types of indexes.

@jakelazaroff @astro

The reason for that I think is that Svelte and astro are just using vanilla JavaScript as much as possible. With Svelte you can basically use any JS library whereas other react based frameworks require some custom wrappers to interact with them.

@eys
First few times I got exposed to SvelteKit were from people saying how much easier it is to use than other frameworks. I didn't find that to be the case myself, I think it is capable of being extremely complex if you want it to be, and I've actually started to like that about it.
It seems like it has the most potential to be "tuned" as highly as you want to bring out the most efficiency possible.

@RolfBly Love me RSS!

If you weren't aware of it, Google alerts https://www.google.com/alerts has a neat feature where you can define search terms for specific things and get the alerts in an RSS feed as they become indexed on Google search.

So you're getting, basically, the "bleeding edge" of new content for keywords you want to track.

This is great for keeping updated with local news stories mentioning your city, or new blog posts that discuss some tool you particularly like.

Google Alerts - Monitor the Web for interesting new content

@catzilla @RolfBly Yeah that's really annoying. A lot of readers these days are capable of scraping the page for you though, either as soon as a new entry is recieved (can take up a lot of space eventually) or on demand when you open the entry in the reader.

Personally I love these features because I can tinker with it as much as I'd like. For example on one site that is full of clutter, I have a rule that only gets the post content and nothing else. It's a much more enjoyable experience.
