Not from my reading. DoS are irrelevant, remote functions exploits don't apply and from my reading neither does the "XSS via hydratable" since a prerequisite is hydratable() which is a Remote Functions feature.
CapRover is another good alternative, and also much more lightweight than Coolify, easily runs on even a 512MB server: https://caprover.com/
I haven't posted about the methodology yet but intend to. If you're interested in my initial impressions I made a video about it: https://youtu.be/SIwKKgkjlbU
Made a video comparing Gemini 2.5 Pro to Claude Sonnet 3.7 recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVdVJ_hD_vo
There's about a 99% chance you can update from Svelte 3 to 4 without any code changes. Some code changes are performed automatically by the migration script: https://svelte.dev/docs/v4-migration-guide
I've used the same codebase for a PWA, iOS and Android app, but using Capacitor instead of Expo. Here is a blog post about the architecture: https://khromov.se/how-i-published-a-gratitude-journaling-ap...
Great post, I came to much the same conclusion when building my app - a secure token is generated on account creation and users are encouraged to save it in case the need to restore their account. I blogged about the implementation below together with how the UI looks (under the "Authentication" heading): https://khromov.se/building-a-privacy-friendly-self-hosted-a...
WordPress is very fast out of the box considering all its capabilities, it's not hard to get in the range of 100ms TTFB out of the box on dirt cheap VPS servers, which is pretty good in my book. The problem is that people add very heavy themes and plugins that push them well above acceptable TTFB numbers.
Full Site Editing with the new Gutenberg editor have amended a lot of that, it's very performant out of the box. Just as an example, I have a site averaging about 200ms for uncached requests, it has an FSE theme and 20 installed plugins, including heavy ones like ACF.
This is all out of the box without cache, but by adding a simple static page cache (either a plugin or something like Fastly, Varnish etc.) you can make it so that the p95 latency drops by 80-90% because most people will see cached page views any way.
Personal blog / portfolio. Like most developers, I have a hard time publishing more than a post or two per year.
You would be hard pressed to find a functional difference between a SvelteKit project compiled with adapter-static and a "Create React App" app. If you have any concrete differences, do share them. They're functionally equivalent (except a SvelteKit project is a lot lighter in JS due to the compiler architecture).
There are unfortunately a lot of misunderstandings around SvelteKit because it is SSR-centric. SvelteKit has probably the best interactive docs of any framework at https://learn.svelte.dev/ and I do encourage everyone to go through them to get the full picture!
It sounds like you have a misunderstanding about SvelteKit. It does have a client side router and you can use SvelteKit as a pure SPA today very easily, all you need is to set `export const ssr = false;` and `export const prerender = false;` in `src/routes/+layout.ts`. Then export with `adapter-static` and you're done.
Swing by the official Svelte Discord, we're happy to discuss your questions! https://discord.com/invite/svelte
Super happy Svelte user. Have recently published an iOS + Android app using SvelteKit and blogged about the process for those interested: https://khromov.se/how-i-published-a-gratitude-journaling-ap...
I tested the beta version of Svelte 4 on my app and it worked without requiring any changes other than running the migration script. Excellent work from the team!
Years ago I started a personal blog but like many others, I found myself struggling to write more than a couple of posts per year. The barrier of quality felt too large. So I decided to create a separate shortform blog where I would share small code snippets that solved problems for me.
It turned out to be quite popular and since I started the blog in 2013 it's gotten well over 1.5 million visitors and still attracts hundreds every day, exculsively from search traffic.
While I can't say that it changed my life in any way, it did bring me a lot of satisfaction that it helped many people. It also taught me about the concept of "long tail keywords" on Google!

You can also check out CapRover, similar self-hosted PaaS like Coolify but simpler to set up and manage in my opinion: https://caprover.com/
While we wait for better legislation, all we can do is vote with our wallets. That's why I started the review site Unwanted Cloud to review how well devices work without "cloud" connectivity: https://unwanted.cloud/
Dropbox are removing their support for public folders on September 1,2017. I made this script to be able to easily swap out my old links.

This is very neat. Good job!
This needs an answer.
Agree with this. Not everything on there is right, but there's a lot of useful snippets.
In the same boat as this guy. High anonymous visitor count, but would like to graph it, but pricing is not gonna make it possible.
Would also like to know this.
Also, I assume anonymous visitors are also users?
Check out WooCommerce - an excellent ecommerce platform built on Wordpress.
Looks like something from a Cronenberg movie!
