Not sure this qualifies as cool, but I threw these guides together in a couple of days: https://prediabetes.guide and https://metabolichealth.guide

 

We're thrilled to have you here as we embark on this exciting journey together. As you may already know, our community was created as an alternative to the Reddit subreddit r/sveltejs, recognising the need for a reliable and secure platform to connect and share ideas.

With Reddit's uncertain future, it's important for us to establish a vibrant and inclusive community where Svelte enthusiasts, like yourself, can engage, collaborate, and learn from one another. Whether you're a seasoned Svelte developer or just staring out with SvelteKit, this community is here to support and uplift everyone.

Here are a few ways you can make the most of your experience here:

1️⃣ Introduce Yourself: We encourage all new members to introduce themselves to the community. Tell us a bit about your background, your passion for Svelre/SvelteKit, and what you hope to gain from being part of this community. We're all ears and excited to get to know you!

2️⃣ Share Your Projects: If you've been working on a cool Svelte/SvelteKit project, don't hesitate to share it with the community. We love seeing the innovative solutions and creative applications that Svelte developers come up with. Your projects can serve as inspiration and spark meaningful discussions.

3️⃣ Ask Questions: Need help with a coding challenge? Facing a roadblock in your Svelte/SvelteKit project? Don't hesitate to ask questions! Our community is full of experienced developers who are more than willing to lend a hand and share their expertise. We believe in fostering a supportive environment where everyone can grow together.

4️⃣ Contribute to Discussions: Engage with existing posts and discussions. Share your thoughts, provide insights, or even challenge ideas respectfully. By actively participating in the conversations, you'll not only build relationships but also contribute to the collective knowledge of the community.

5️⃣ Spread the Word: If you find value in this community, help us grow by spreading the word. Let your fellow Svelte/SvelteKit developers know about this alternative platform and invite them to join us. Together, we can create a vibrant and thriving community that benefits all.

Remember, this community is what we make of it. Let's come together to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive space for Svelte/SvelteKit developers to connect, learn, and inspire each other. Your contributions matter, so don't be shy—start posting, sharing, and interacting with your fellow developers.

We're excited to have you on board. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to our friendly moderators or fellow community members.

Happy Svelting! 🚀

I find ChatGPT more accessible and usable than GitHub Copilot. I did initially use Copilot when it was first released, but I found myself being interrupted by the suggestions. There were times when it was useful, but it got in the way more often than not. I'll concede that Copilot is really good at suggesting dummy data.

With ChatGPT I tend to explore a problem and a solution - it's more of a purposeful back-and-forth. I will often ask for example code, but even if I use it, it will most often be re-written. The key thing here is that I am stepping out of my editor to interact with ChatGPT, and that works really well for me - I'm in a different thinking state, and I find this a very productive way to work.

We learn more from mistakes than from successes - I try and foster an approach that is characterised as 'fail early, fail often'. The majority of my apprentices have come through an education system that only rewards success, and we spend a few weeks unlearning that, but once they start to get the idea, they are willing to be vulnerable and share code that isn't working.

Have posted. Mod me up? @silas too.

 

The Svelte documentation is first class; it really stands out as an example of how technical documentation can be made accessible. However, for a simple and straightforward introduction to build a simple project with Svelte, the MDN Getting Started with Svelte is an excellent guide.

I’ll mod c/sveltejs once it has been created and I’ve posted.

Can we get a "Svelte" community, for all things Svelte and SvelteKit - url name (sveltejs) display name (SvelteJS).
