Ok, so, I’ve heard about this CLI tool that allows you to use your preferred LLM provider, Goose, from Block (Square, payment thingy) which I think is officially called codename goose, but we all know everyone is going to refer to it as Goose.

Super quick one I want to document here!

Aight!

I first heard about vitest-browser-svelte at Svelte Summit from a talk by Dominik G, one of the core maintainers of SvelteKit and Vite.

Aight!

In this post, I’ll go through the process of getting a Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool up and running with the Claude desktop app using Node in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Real quick one from me on updating a Hetzner VPS with something like apt update.

Ok, I don’t usually do a post like this, this site is usually around how to work with a technology or to get something done with it.

Remember when I wrote about changing scrollbar colour with Tailwind CSS?

Aight!

It’s been since I last wrote about implementing redirects for changed post routes in SvelteKit.

I totally changed up the Svead package again.

The WSL Cursor setup, debugging your setup before you even code!

I’ve been playing around with Hetzner Cloud for a while now, mainly setting up this site on it using Coolify but it got me thinking about using it for other things too.

Ok, it’s high time I write about the Svelte head component I made back in May 15, 2022 ( ago).

Aight!

I’m currently looking into upgrading a large app where I’m working, to upgrade from Svelte 4 to Svelte 5.

I’ve been doing more stuff with Fly.io and Turso with SvelteKit.

Aight!

Ok, so I went over this in this in a post a while back.

A couple of years ago I wrote a guide on setting up a web development environment on WSL using Fedora 35.

How to get the array of selected values from a multi-select form input?

Real quick!

This is a post that will go over some of the specifics needed to configure a SvelteKit project using Svelte 5 runes.

So, I’ve got these massive CSV files (some up to 233 thousand rows) that I exported from Fathom Analytics.

So, you’ve just upgraded to Svelte 5 and are excited to test out your components.

I have the popular posts on this site which are stored in a Turso table, the table is generated from the Fathom Analytics API on this site and you can see them when you get to the bottom of a post or in the footer of the site.

Real quick!

Okedokey, so, I’ve been playing around with Turso DB and SvelteKit and I decided to see if I could record analytics for a project and use Turso to store the data.

I don’t get it.

I was asking ChatGPT to read some posts from my site and summarise them for me, I was a bit surprised when I got the response “I wasn’t able to directly access the URL you provided due to restrictions on the webpage.” from the bot.

Real quick one for me!

What a catchy title!

Ok, so, back at the start of the year, I switched from Revue (remember that?

Yesterday I switched my URL link shortener from Airtable to Upstash Redis.

I came across one of those infographic’s today detailing a couple of uses of the HTML input tag and decided to dig a bit deeper into the uses for it and was quite surprised to find quite a few I didn’t know of.

I made a reactions component in SvelteKit that uses Upstash Redis to store the user reactions.

Tailwind is awesome n’ all but what do you do when you want to change the default fonts.

This guide will cover how to add a cookie-based theme selection to a SvelteKit site using daisyUI.

Ok, on 2023-06-13 there was an AWS outage and everyone that used AWS East was affected.

This is a how-to guide for adding a contact form to your SvelteKit site using Airtable to store the submissions and notify you when there is a new submission.

During a workshop I was hosting at CityJS ( ago) for getting started with Svelte and SvelteKit, I received some valuable feedback from an attendee who was unclear about the role of the load function in SvelteKit.

I had a bit of a surprise land in my inbox at the start of the month from my analytics provider Fathom, the subject line “You’ve been quite popular”.

I came across this issue when adding real-time analytics to my site, essentially what I wanted to do was get some analytics data from a server endpoint and pass that to the page.

I spent a bit of time the other day looking into the Fathom Analytics API, this was something I took a look at around a year ago now, but I didn’t really get around to using it.

Here’s a real quick one on making sure you don’t blow your crawl budget on your SvelteKit project JavaScript files.

In this post I’ll be detailing how I implemented redirects for changed post routes in SvelteKit.

If, like me, you’re on the Windows Insider Programme Dev channel and you use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) for your web development then you may have noticed some weird dev server behaviour recently.

So, I just found that the SPF record on my Fastmail account for scottspence.com was throwing a verification error.

I did what I usually do and made a useless project!
