Next.js and RSC is (unfortunately) shown to be a poor abstraction over and over again. Really hope the React team changes course on the recent changes and goes back to simple, clear software.
How our "perfect" one-line isOwner() function in Next.js started always returning true.
Spoiler: It is because of server functions...

today we landed a @svelte.dev feature i'm pretty stoked about — we call it 'forking', and it lets you run state changes offscreen and later choose whether to commit them (e.g. user hovers on a link, preload data in case they click)

I curse at Claude Sonnet and Google's Codex a lot, but damn, Haiku on component level hits different. The velocity enables a nice feedback loop / iteration pace. And the Svelte MCP's autofixer add final touches. What a gift from @paolo.ricciuti.me and @khromov.se!

The Svelte MCP now uses `mcp-ui` to show you the playground directly in your chat with `playground-link`. This means you don't have to wait for the big playground link to play with the generated code!
Currently, not many clients supports it, but VS Code should soon, and you can try it in Postman 👀

Very cool Svelte MCP exploration from Paolo and makes me think that we can soon get smaller local models to write Svelte 5!
I'm honestly hyped about how a still rudimentary Svelte MCP can improve the code of a model that ranked 47 on the bench enough that not only works, but it's actually decent code.
Here's a visualization of all the steps with the suggestions from the MCP...very fascinating!

Features including:
🎨 CSS-only usage
Unlocked a pattern I'm happy with that doesn't require Tailwind but still provides the same first-class support I'm iterating on.
🏗️ HTML primitives (when applicable)
↔️ Simplier integration (Skeleton, Svelte UX, Daisy UI, etc)
🔀 Improved state management
