Top Svelte Projects

Storybook is an open-source tool for building UI components and pages in isolation, making it easier to develop, test, and document user interfaces.

Code Example

import { Button } from './Button';

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

export const Primary = () => <Button primary>Click me</Button>;

Pros

• Storybook provides a powerful development environment for UI components, unlike projects like TanStack/query or immich-app/immich which focus on different aspects of application development.
• It offers extensive documentation and a large ecosystem of addons, surpassing many other UI-related projects in terms of flexibility and extensibility.
• Storybook supports multiple frontend frameworks, making it more versatile than framework-specific tools like sveltejs/svelte or sveltejs/kit.

Cons

• Storybook can have a steeper learning curve compared to simpler UI libraries like daisyui or tabler-icons.
• It may introduce additional complexity to a project's setup, which might not be necessary for smaller applications or those using all-in-one frameworks like NativeScript.
• Storybook focuses primarily on component development and documentation, lacking features for full-stack development that projects like wailsapp/wails or inertiajs/inertia provide.

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 compiles code at build time, resulting in smaller bundle sizes and faster runtime performance compared to many other frameworks.
• It offers a simpler, more intuitive syntax with less boilerplate code than frameworks like React or Vue.
• Svelte has built-in state management and animation capabilities, reducing the need for additional libraries.

Cons

• Svelte has a smaller ecosystem and community compared to more established frameworks like React or Vue.
• It may have a steeper learning curve for developers accustomed to traditional frameworks due to its unique approach.
• Some advanced features and tooling support might be less mature or extensive compared to older, more widely-used frameworks.

unionlabs/union is an open-source project management tool designed for software development teams.

Pros

• Offers a comprehensive suite of project management features tailored specifically for software development workflows.
• Integrates seamlessly with popular version control systems and development tools.
• Provides a user-friendly interface that balances simplicity with powerful functionality.

Cons

• As a relatively new project, it may have fewer integrations and extensions compared to more established alternatives like Jira or Trello.
• The learning curve might be steeper for teams transitioning from other project management tools.
• May lack some advanced features found in enterprise-level project management solutions.

immich-app/immich is a self-hosted photo and video backup solution with a mobile app and web interface.

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 both mobile and web interfaces, making it more versatile than projects like NativeScript or Wails that focus on specific platforms.
• Emphasizes privacy and data ownership, which sets it apart from cloud-based solutions.

Cons

• Has a narrower focus compared to more general-purpose development tools like Storybook or Svelte.
• May require more setup and maintenance than cloud-based alternatives or simpler UI libraries.
• Lacks the extensive ecosystem and community support of larger projects like TanStack Query or Svelte.

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 a robust caching system, reducing unnecessary network requests
• Offers excellent TypeScript support, enhancing developer experience
• Supports multiple frameworks, including React, Vue, and Svelte

Cons

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