Top Svelte Projects

Storybook is a development environment for UI components, allowing developers to build, test, and document components in isolation.

Code Example

import { Button } from './Button';

export default {
  component: Button,
  title: 'Components/Button',
};

Pros

• Provides a comprehensive ecosystem for component development and testing, unlike more focused libraries like TanStack/query or tsparticles.
• Offers extensive documentation and a large community, surpassing newer projects like immich-app/immich or gitbutlerapp/gitbutler.
• Supports multiple frontend frameworks, making it more versatile than framework-specific tools like sveltejs/svelte or sveltejs/kit.

Cons

• Has a steeper learning curve compared to simpler UI libraries like daisyui or tabler-icons.
• Can add complexity to the development process, which may be unnecessary for smaller projects that could benefit from lighter solutions like windicss.
• Requires additional setup and configuration, unlike more integrated solutions such as NativeScript or wailsapp/wails for native app development.

Svelte is a modern JavaScript framework for building user interfaces with a focus on simplicity and performance.

Code Example

<script>
  let count = 0;
</script>

<button on:click={() => count++}>Clicks: {count}</button>

Pros

• Svelte offers a simpler and more intuitive syntax compared to many other frameworks like React or Vue.
• It compiles code at build time, resulting in smaller bundle sizes and better runtime performance than most alternatives.
• Svelte has a gentler learning curve, making it accessible to developers of various skill levels.

Cons

• Svelte has a smaller ecosystem and community compared to more established frameworks like React or Vue.
• It lacks some advanced features found in larger frameworks, which may be limiting for complex applications.
• Svelte's compile-time approach can make debugging more challenging in some scenarios.

immich-app/immich is a self-hosted photo and video backup solution with a focus on privacy and data ownership.

Pros

• Offers a complete, self-hosted solution for photo and video management, unlike many other projects that focus on specific UI components or development tools.
• Provides a mobile app for easy photo/video backup, which is not available in most other listed projects.
• Emphasizes privacy and data ownership, setting it apart from cloud-based alternatives.

Cons

• Has a narrower focus compared to more versatile development tools like Storybook or Svelte.
• Requires more setup and maintenance as a self-hosted solution compared to cloud-based alternatives.
• May have a smaller community and ecosystem compared to more established projects like NativeScript or Tabler.

TanStack Query is a powerful data-fetching and state management library for web applications.

Code Example

import { useQuery } from '@tanstack/react-query'

const { data, isLoading } = useQuery('todos', fetchTodos)

Pros

• Provides robust caching and synchronization features out of the box
• Offers a simple and intuitive API for managing asynchronous data
• Supports multiple frameworks including React, Vue, and Svelte

Cons

• Has a steeper learning curve compared to simpler state management solutions
• May be overkill for small projects with minimal data fetching requirements
• Requires additional setup and configuration compared to built-in state management tools

Coolify is an open-source, self-hosted Heroku/Netlify alternative for deploying applications and databases.

Pros

• Offers a comprehensive solution for self-hosted application deployment and database management
• Provides an easy-to-use interface for managing multiple projects and services
• Supports a wide range of technologies and frameworks out of the box

Cons

• May require more setup and maintenance compared to cloud-based alternatives like Vercel or Netlify
• Has a smaller community and ecosystem compared to more established projects like Storybook or Svelte
• May have limitations in scalability for large-scale enterprise deployments compared to some commercial solutions
