https://blog.neuenet.com , https://webb.page , and https://inc.sh...https://dsgn.agency will get updated with it soon (it's using Sapper, the awkward stand-in before SvelteKit). I'm also building a social network with it, here's a screenshot[1] and video[2] --- [1]: https://social.coop/@netopwibby/113474209075638354 [2]: https://social.coop/@netopwibby/113329030542527807

webb.page is fun!

Thank you, glad you like it!

Is there any reason to use the word uchu? It seems like almost everything (colour schemes, AI models, startups, tools, apps, ...) is named using a single randomly-selected Japanese word these days. But... why?

Does it bother you to have a product name like Galaxy or Forester? It seems very odd to me that somebody would complain about single-word product names. Or are you complaining about the origin language? Or are you just jealous that somebody is using a two-syllable word instead of something like Navigator? Or perhaps you are peeved it isn't a single-syllable name like Chrome. Is a word like Ubuntu ok if it isn't Japan…

Which Galaxy? Do you mean Galaxy, Galaxy, Galaxy, Galaxy or Galaxy?

I'm confused by the usage of the word color scheme. To me a color scheme is something like monokai. A small number of colors that go well together. The application (eg syntax highlighting in a code editor) is obvious and easy. This is just...lots of monochrome colors? How would I use this? Not trying to be dismissive, I'm just confused.

color palette would be more accurate

My apologies for not being fluent in the Japanese language. I didn't look deeper than WordHippo[1] for translation. --- [1]: https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/the/japanese-word-for-244f...

Then don't use words you don't understand fully? Seems stupid to me to use a whole culture as your "aesthetic".

Thank you! We need more Svelte lovers against the tyranny of React. RE: social network, I'm also gonna charge money to use it so I'm not yet another free option with a dubious future...an extremely tiny portion of people would pay for a social network so I'm hoping I can add enough features to make it feel worth it. So yeah, it's gonna be tough af out here LOL! I've never used Tailwind because CSS-in-JS weirds me out…

I really love the principles that Svelte tries to advance but I find some of their design decisions downright puzzling. About 2 years ago I had to make a decision about what framework we were going to use for a new project and one of our developers was really into Svelte. I went through the tutorial and made a sample site. It felt like there were always sharp edges I was catching myself on. I don't remember the speci…

To echo mglikesbikes, I remember wracking my brain trying to figure out state stuff for more involved things like session management at the time. Svelte 5 was released recently and changed how they were doing state.

For me it's annoying because I got used to the old way. For newcomers, it may make more sense by default.

To Svelte's credit, they don't allow you to mix old and new ways of doing state so that's a great way to force people to learn the (new) correct way of doing things. A lot of React's issues are the abundance of old tutorials on the 'net, confusing newcomers trying to do something.

That’s so funny — my social network[1] was paid, too! People hated that shit but — this was when Twitter had just started dying. Maybe there’s more appetite for sustainable alternatives now. I certainly see lots of projects in process on TikTok. “The tyranny of react” is spot on. React single-handedly killed my passion for web development, but Svelte brought me back. Good luck! 1. https://pocketrides.com

I like PocketRides, you've given me some ideas on how to incentivize creators. We certainly have the same ethos; people over bots.

Hmm yeah, I like that better.

If you design a webpage that looks like an app loading screen, and have to put the word "SCROLL" at the bottom, I think that's a design failure, for the same/similar reasons that "click here" links are.

Would you mind expanding that thought? I don't literally tell people to scroll or to 'click here', and it hardly looks like a loading screen.
