I am looking for work as a Front End Developer. My elevator pitch:
- Strong experience creating product & feature prototypes #Angular, #Svelte, and #React.
- Solid front end dev, especially in #Angular, with strong #HTML, #CSS, #JavaScript, & #Typescript. Worked large products for Walmart & J. B. Hunt.
- Great tech lead for projects, mentoring all levels of experience.
Feel free to reach out to me here or via my LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/leifwells
Another anecdote. We had an internal CRM app at work, built in 2021 with the backend / API / frontend architecture.
Nest on the backend. TypeORM broke several times, preventing smooth upgrade. Nest was stable enough though.
The frontend was built using #Svelte and Sapper. OK, Sapper was a beta at the time. Replaced with SvelteKit in 2022. We tried to migrate. Twice. Resources were limited: the app was useful to us, but not paying our salaries. Migration would taken *weeks.*

Reintro!
I'm Dylan, a #fullstack #webdev from the Midwest, US. I like working with #js and #svelte so much that I wrote a book about #sveltekit! I've also worked extensively with #php and #WordPress but try to avoid the latter if I can.
I spend my days in the terminals of various #Linux machines and tweaking my #Vim config. I automate my #homelab with #ansible. I write about web dev on my #blog.
I enjoy #pcgaming and will occasionally #shitpost and boost #memes so brace yourself.
Hey! Getting .env files from other people's apps (or your apps on other people's machines) to work is a pain in the ass, right? You don't wanna be sharing secrets in open channels (cough discord cough), but are using shared password vaults and other cloud secret manager stuff, right?
So why not check in a JSON file to your repo that points to those secrets as URIs and generates your .env file for you?
Come kick the tires and help your local infosec guy not have a heart attack 
They had no experience with git, GitHub, Svelte, or even with using an IDE. I thought it was worth a try, so I sent them a long list of instructions for installing all the software they'd need. I sent them a few YouTube videos about using VS Code with Git, and had them create a GitHub account. I explained how the site was architected, and the basics of #Svelte components.
This was probably long overdue..
My interests:
TL;DR I love having a cup of joe while mining asteroids and coding.
We just published "Building accessible sites with SvelteKit: seven practical tips" on the @datawrapper blog.

Let me know what you think, especially if I got something wrong!
@freeplay@wetdry.worldsveltekit (reposting to add hashtags)
am wonderign if there's a good way to immediately load a js file (so before any html) in sveltekit with build minification and typescript 
mainly because i want to get data from localstorage to add as classes on the html element
@Colin@meow.socialIn order to improve maintainability, I decided to move to #Svelte for this project. And while I was already tidying up the UI, I've also used the opportunity to design custom icons. Svelte also significantly improved the loading time by using SSR, mostly because KaTeX is no longer shipped to the client.
Try it out here: https://colintimbarndt.github.io/constrained-calculator/led-driver
If you have any ideas for this project, please let me know! I already have a 555-Timer calculator planned.
@freeplay@wetdry.worldvite/sveltekit question
Does anyone know how to get HMR working with postcss files? Currently the entire page refreshes with any change
HMR inside svelte files w/ postcss work fine

@ChaosKitsune@woem.menI am once again asking if anyone is interested in helping me work on a tool for sorting, hosting, and sharing images and eventually videos (hopefully). This will be great for artists, yuri collectors, sorting memes, and more
Are you a frontend dev? A backend dev? We need both. If you know HTML, svelte, typescript, or nestjs these are some of the things we are using.
Perhaps ur none of that and just want to stay up to date with the progress, give feedback, or help translate the tool. Well then feel free to join the discord or follow me here since ill post my progress.

Also id like to have someone review some of my open PR's cuz at some point I'm just gonna have to force push or the whole project stalls. Also it would be more fun if this didn't more of less become a solo project
Oh also have some of the lastest WIP images of the project:
#FOSS #svelte #SvelteKit #software #frontend #backend #backenddeveloper #FLOSS #typescript #SelfHosted
was crashing cars live on stream at Svelte This Week- or rather, babbling about state machines and how Svelte 5 makes it super easy to make them reactive!
@Equinox@squawk.socialSpicy hot take about componen libraries for (mostly web-based) frontend UIs
Using pre-themed component libraries will seriously shoot yourself in the foot in the long run. Don't like the look of a component? Want to tweak some CSS values? Well good luck, because now you're gonna fight specificity and create a whole bunch of class rules to override already-defined rulesets. It'll blow up the complexity (and even size) of your app and significantly hurt maintainability. (As is the case with a major component library that I keep having to fight with)
Don't reinvent the wheel either by creating the components from scratch, as you will spend many hours trying to get stuff (other than looks and mouse interaction) to work (how would you interact with the components with your keyboard? How accessible is your component? Mobile usage? Etc.)
For small projects, sure, use your favorite component libraries, I'm talking about really big projects here (stuff I'm working on at work).
I suggest looking into headless component frameworks, like (in case of svelte) melt-ui, bits-ui, headless-table, and so on. All they offer are some commonly used, unstyled components where you need to provide your own CSS stylesheets and only a bit of custom logic. Using these will get you 90% of the way there. Want to have them pre-styled anyways? Shad-cn provides that, but still allows you to trim them down and restyle them the way you want.
packaged up my reactive finite state machine for svelte 5. it's tiny (0.8kB) but surprisingly flexible.

"Blooming - Exploring Poverty in the Pacific Region" is an interactive, exploratory data viz I created to explore the connection between poverty and gender inequality in the Pacific region.

@ChaosKitsune@woem.menHas anyone ever seen anything like this? Watch till the end that's where the issue is but the locale flips when I hover over a link on that page that leads to /settings
Also here is the code for that area
<div class="text-center w-full">
<p class="self-center">V{VERSION}</p>
<div>
<a href="/settings">{$_('app.settings')}</a>
- <button class="">{$_('app.logout')}</button>
</div>
</div>can someone who knows #svelte explain?
