Curious as to people’s experience with Svelte (or SvelteKit) for making so-called “native” apps via Electron/Taurus/etc?

(I believe the new 1Password app is powered by Svelte.)

We did a pretty big one, integrated with a python/gtk app [yikes]. Anyways, svelte is a joy to work with, also on the note of libraries, svelte's community is smaller but I found by far my favourite component system I've ever used - https://carbon-components-svelte.onrender.com/.. surprising coming from IBM, but hey, I'll take it.

But in general electron was a pain, slow builds - had an adhoc solution for the svelte dev server, but its not great.

Thanks for sharing. Curious if you know the answer: what’s the difference between a “pictogram” and an “icon” in the components? I looked at a few and it seemed arbitrary?
