I built the infrastructure for one of the largest trading systems in the world. I built the frontend for one of the largest streaming services in the world. I built the backend for one of the largest single sign on services in the world. So apparently I don't exist :) #fullstack

I've built a very early working prototype of a SvelteKit adapter which outputs cross-platform browser extensions. It's as simple as, install in your SvelteKit app, `npm run build` and then you can install the extension. Let me know how you go!

@BenLesh I'm not sure. How is this not also a problem with traditional Promises, or callbacks? You'd need to ensure that your button stopped accepting user input whilst the data updated. I don't see how this is a problem unique to async/await, unless I'm missing something?

The NueJS site has left a bad taste in my mouth - disingenuous comparisons (the svelte example is all in TS and has all of the interfaces to bulk it up compared to the nue example which is plain js) and leaving comparisons out where Nue loses (bundle size). Not a good start.

@madebyfabian @donavon This doesn't avoid errors, it causes them. Previously your code would throw and exit early if there was a missing country. With safe navigation you have a null country floating around, you don't know what havoc that will reak.

@lamualfa @CooperThompson8 @SvelteSociety @golang @sveltejs @MadeWithSvelte @headlessui One of the advantages of Svelte is that it's so close to pure JS that you don't need to build custom libraries or wrappers for third party components. Just use any vanilla JS components. It's as easy as that.

@donavon To all the people suggesting safe navigation; No! That's a really bad idea. Unless your code is built to handle a null value this is a terrible idea. Throw early and get out of there. You have no idea what chaos a null country is going to cause.

@mxbck It's an easy calculation with a few lines of Javascript, and some absolute positioning. "But what if they resize the browser?". Listen to the window resize event, and just set a timeout to window.location.reload() after a second or so. The modern web makes this stuff so easy.
