Is there a way to ensure certain files that aren't in the app tree make it into the @svelte.dev Kit build output?
I have a background process that pulls a file from a relative import. Works fine in dev. Can't find the file in prod :/

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

The design decision by @svelte.dev Kit to provide tools for early termination of route execution by calling `error()` or `redirect()` is awesome!
That any code does not continue to execute after these functions are called makes it much more idiomatic and safe to write route handlers
I <3 Svelte :)

Anyone have deep experience and strong opinions on valibot vs arktype?
Seems like arktype doesn't strip object keys that are not defined in the schema, but are present in the input. I like that valibot does that for me.

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

Why does every bluetooth device use different taps for music controls?
Tap once on one device is the same as double-tap on another, and long press on a third
