Long time no post as I had to dive deep into Patent Classification Systems (my god - human knowledge is huge, but also...complicated) and this is the result patentclassificationexplorer.com
Can it get any worse?

🎙️ Just published a new episode of Svelte Radio: One Man Svelte for NGOs with Ilja. Have a listen:
Shit show.
This is the lowest low I’ve ever witnessed (so far). And I don’t know why our German public broadcaster is live-streaming and live-translating this.
This is so fucked up.
The monthly cloudflare internet-takedown is happening
Tried it yesterday and was completely blown away by seeing a model using $inspect just by itself. That's the future!
A historic first today as Opus 4.5 scores 100% on SvelteBench - the first model to do so. We're hard at work on the next version of SvelteBench that will use an agentic approach, if you have feedback, submit it here: github.com/khromov/svel... #svelte #ai
Works like a charm
Awesome work! Now one more line for React (joking, really!)
Screenshot of a line chart showing cumulated daily releases for Svelte and SvelteKit and two dozen selected milestones from Autumn 2023 to November 2025
Nothing to see here, just a few Svelte milestones.
For SvelteKit alone I'd need to add 6+ more notable user-land features.
I'm thinking about turning this into a less noisy interactive (with links).
It's time for a new Start.
Raycast for Windows, available today.

Pro tip from a tired human being (and someone with a B.A. in communication) for people trying to promote their product / library / whatever on here:
if you only come online to be negative (complain, dunk, demand, call out etc.), either stop coming online or accept that you’re damaging your product.
This!
📣 Hear hear! The biggest savings on the Practical Accessibility course start *today*—for a limited time only.
Starting today, you can get the course for 30% off — that's $279 instead of $399. The discounted price excludes sales tax that may be applied depending on where you are buying from.
I am blown away! So good, Ihar!
For the purpose of more practicing with #D3js and #Svelte made an interactive version of one of the previous infographics:

LLMs have finally stopped recommending React. Nature is healing 🧡
Polypane 27 is here!
Polypane now has a projects-based workflow, a new snippets panel, line numbers in the style panel (we know!), a new macOS icon and so much more.

It’s encouraging to see a significant increase in user-centred design capability across all levels of government and throughout the country.
For my page, people started sending me roles they found or wanted listed. Other people told me that they frequently looked at the page.

We are hiring service designers to create better government services and policies — working at C1 level German
We are hiring!
At @digitalservice.bund.de, we are now looking for #serviceDesigners to help us create better government services and policies.
One role in policy space, the other in service transformation space. The work in both areas spans the entire federal government and, in parts, beyond

Screenshot of the linked plot. It shows the simple distribution of all 11 local meetup groups. London has 624 members, Berlin has 23.
Quick & dirty SveltePlot of @sveltesociety.dev @guild.host members (~online meetup members). Right now it's fetching from the GraphQL endpoint but I don't know how durable they are, so there's fallback data.
@svelte.london is from another planet...

User Story As a system administrator / developer I want the system to automatically detect Claude API outages and disable AI features So that users get clear feedback instead of cryptic errors and we don't waste time/money on failed requests Problem Current behavior when Claude API is down: ❌ Users run tests → get cryptic API errors ❌ Users try DOCX export → fails silently or with error ❌ Agents fail to run → no clear feedback why ❌ System keeps trying to call broken API → wasted resources ❌ No way to know Claude is down until checking status page
Time to implement this story 🙄
Internal server error at cloudflare
*presses refresh 100 times to see if that fixes the problem*
Svelte users in Berlin - mark 2025-12-09 (9 Dec) in your calendars: The @sveltesociety.dev Berlin Meetup is finally going to happen!!!
Kudos to @sarcevic.dev and @peterkogo.bsky.social!
Screenshot of an accessibility evaluation report showing results for criteria such as meaningful sequence, sensory characteristics, orientation, and identifying input purpose. It highlights a passed logical reading order, notes missing autocomplete attributes on common form fields, and displays detailed findings with HTML code samples and technical explanations.
Working on something I'm excited about: extending automated a11y testing with AI agents. Each specializes in WCAG principles, detects edge cases, analyzes code semantics, and uses Playwright. Going beyond what rule-based tools can catch. Agents handle up to 40% of traditionally manual work.
Geilo. Würd mich freuen!
Yay. Gratuliere!!
