It has been so fulfilling to be able to back Living Carbon and see them reforest huge swaths of the country. They're on track to absorb roughly the equivalent of San Francisco's annual emissions!
1/ @OctopusEnergy is backing Living Carbon with $500M to reforest degraded land and remove CO₂ across North America. This major project financing comes with an additional ~$13M investment in our carbon business.
Living Carbon is putting low quality land back to work. Our innovative reforestation turns low quality land into thriving forests faster to remove carbon or produce sustainable forest products.

If you were missing the "I can just reassign a $: statement" capability of Svelte 4 in version 5 - it's back now!
$derived in Svelte 5 is now writable! github.com/sveltejs/svelte/p…

Svelte 5 has an excellent migration guide from v4 to v5. It’s way too big to be a cursor rule though.
I ended up dumping into Google Gemini large context window and got a phenomenal cursor rule condensed out of it. Nearly no issues anymore.
I would recommend to anyone dealing with or offering upgrades

You think removing is-number to save 440 gb is something? I just had a PR merged to save 112 TB!
I hope for the sake of everyone's node_modules that we can all compete to get the highest number 😆

I also sent another PR to @izs that would save 96 TB of traffic to the npm registry.

@sveltejs v5 is out and Storybook 8.4 is ready:
✅ Runes support
✅ Write your stories in Svelte CSF
✅ Insane, next-level Svelte TypeScript support
✅ Zero-config setup from the Svelte CLI
If you’ve written stories for Svelte, you can see that Svelte CSF is a big improvement:
![Button.stories.svelte file containing:
<script module>
import { defineMeta } from '@storybook/addon-svelte-csf';
import { fn } from '@storybook/test';
import Button from './Button.svelte';
const { Story } = defineMeta({
component: Button,
tags: ['autodocs'],
args: {
label: 'Click me',
onclick: fn(),
},
});
</script>
<Story name="Primary" args={{ primary: true }} />
<Story name="Secondary" />
<Story name="Large" args={{ size: 'large' }} />](/pic/orig/media%2FGcM3rL2XwAA0u3c.jpg)
ALT Button.stories.svelte file containing: <script module> import { defineMeta } from '@storybook/addon-svelte-csf'; import { fn } from '@storybook/test'; import Button from './Button.svelte'; const { Story } = defineMeta({ component: Button, tags: ['autodocs'], args: { label: 'Click me', onclick: fn(), }, }); </script> <Story name="Primary" args={{ primary: true }} /> <Story name="Secondary" /> <Story name="Large" args={{ size: 'large' }} />

I made a mistake. It's two announcement talks, but... four things being announced!
Join us on Saturday: sveltesummit.com/2024/fall
This is the first time we've had two different announcements to share at the same Svelte Summit.
Let the speculation commence!

Some data from Google (big thank you to @rick_viscomi and @imkevdev!)
Client-side-only SPAs are extremely detrimental to latency as they add a network round-trip before rendering begins.
You can win at LCP by making it harder to build client-side apps😉

Your use case may warrant a client-side rendered SPA. Perhaps you are building a locally-served app or using it in a mobile framework. It's good to have the flexibility to build a SPA, but you should be careful to choose the right tool for the job.

Now available:
npx svelte-migrate svelte-5
Please try it out and file issues in the Svelte repo. Do check that it hasn't already been reported as it's quite new and bound to have bugs.

svelte-check has gone from 46 dependencies in v3 down to 9 dependencies in the latest release!
This CLI is used by almost every Svelte project.

Thanks to @dummdidumm_ for the work on svelte-check. Not to mention @43081j and @paulmillr for the work on chokidar.

Remember when one usage of is-number caused 440GB/week of traffic to npm? Well the only reason people where using it was because the popular chokidar file watcher did indirectly.
chokidar v4 just dropped it and others resulting in a savings of 2.5 TB/week of traffic to npm

Btw, this is so much traffic that @thedevminertv had to use big.Int in the reporting tool so that it could calculate it without triggering an integer overflow!
