Whatever the merits of this project -- and it does seem to be useful -- they should be a little clearer about the fact that it's not actually part of the "official" svelte framework.

I'm sure they consider it a tribute but it fees a little deceptive that they're cloning the svelte docs look and feel without any kind of "who we are" statement.

Back when Svelte Native was created it was pretty much endores by the maintainers, there's even a channel for it on the official Svelte Discord :)
Moreover, it was made by one of the folks who brought TypeScript support to Svelte (https://github.com/halfnelson/svelte2tsx), so although it may not be explicitly pushed by the core team, it was still made by a significant core contributor.

I'll note that React is the only web renderer that gives official blessing to a native framework, and that's because it's also the only web renderer that built one themselves rather than leaving it to the community.

100% agree
Not sure if this is new but the docs start with a pretty strong disclaimer: https://svelte-native.technology/docs#important-note
