My CascadiaJS talk on Svelte 5 from earlier this summer is now available as a standalone video!. I talked about what's new in Svelte 5 and how it makes Svelte apps more performant, more scalable, and easier to reason about.

Had an amazing time speaking @CascadiaJS this week - great talks and community - but my personal highlight was belting out Jonathan Coulton’s “Mandelbrot Set” during closing karaoke. If you can’t sing a nerdy song about fractals at a webdev conf, when can you?. Until next time!.

@CascadiaJS Slides & a full transcript for my Svelte 5 talk are now available!

RT @drguthals: Precisely. #cascadiajs

Today's the day - I'm giving a talk on Svelte 5 @CascadiaJS! I'll be unpacking the changes coming in Svelte 5: what they are, why we're making them, and what they mean for your apps. Check out the conf site for links to the free livestream - I'm on around 9:50 PDT.

I’ll be giving a talk on Svelte 5 at CascadiaJS this summer alongside a bunch of other great speakers. Hope to see some of you there!.

Part of the reason for updating was taking advantage of the new `read` helper in SvelteKit 2.4. I wrote a quick blog post yesterday on how that simplifies things:.

Just updated my Svelte-generated social image demo for 2024! It now uses Svelte 4 and SvelteKit 2. The social image below was generated from a Svelte component at runtime 👇. Built on Vercel's Satori library and @n_moore's satori-html.
