Yesterday I had the honor to present my talk “Svelte at Geizhals” at the Svelte Vienna Meetup. This was my first meetup talk ever, and I was a bit nervous – but the hosts made sure I felt welcome and supported me very well! Thank you, Ermin and JYC!

Here is the link to my slides: Svelte at Geizhals Slides

The feedback I received after the talk was very good, and I had a lot of interesting conversations afterwards. I’m happy I could finally contribute back by giving a talk, after visiting the Svelte Vienna meetup many times in the past.

Notes from other talks:

ZeeltePHP (Svelte + PHP)

Harry set out to bridge the gap between PHP and SvelteKit and builds ZeeltePHP for that. Very engaging talk with lots of live coding (props to Harry for that!) – the crowd was also very supportive in spoting unsaved files and other typos along the way 🙂

Adding full to your full-stack sveltekit app

Jean-Yves did another great talk about Remult. They just launched v3 and a stunning new landing page and docs. Great work on that, Remult team!

The talk itself left me speachless – I think I deliberatly had to close my mouth during that talk because to not look like this: 😮😮😮

Jean-Yves delivered a super fun and engaging talk about a tool I never really looked into so far.

Remult looks like a very cool project. They really did think about so many use-cases, and made the whole system very flexible and customizable. Strong Meteor.js vibes, but 10× more awesome! The fact that they support so many Meta-Frameworks and database combinations is just 💯

I really felt inspired to try it out on one of my side projects.

Side note: Recently, I was wondering why there are not more frameworks utilizing SSE (Server-Sent Events) for progressively updating the DOM from the server. And now here’s Remult doing just that with their LiveQuery feature. Very exciting.

Svelte Vienna

As usual, I had a great time at the Svelte Vienna meetup. The folks who showed up yesterday made me feel welcome as a first-time speaker, with many faces in the audience nodding along as a sign of support. Highly appreciated!

Svelte Vienna also has a new domain now: svelte.at

Thanks for organizing, and thanks for hosting to Lean Coders and Ahead of Time Software (no website yet?).
