web development for the rest of us
About Sveltejs
From the project's README at github.com/sveltejs/svelte. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.
Svelte is a new way to build web applications. It's a compiler that takes your declarative components and converts them into efficient JavaScript that surgically updates the DOM.
Learn more at the Svelte website, or stop by the Discord chatroom. Supporting Svelte
Svelte is an MIT-licensed open source project with its ongoing development made possible entirely by fantastic volunteers. If you'd like to support their efforts, please consider: Becoming a backer on Open Collective.
Funds donated via Open Collective will be used for compensating expenses related to Svelte's development such as hosting costs. If sufficient donations are received, funds may also be used to support Svelte's development more directly. Roadmap
