It pained me to do this. Everyone I talked to used React instead of Svelte. At some point, we realized we were spending half the time supporting Svelte just for ourselves for <10% of the return.

I still love Svelte and will continue using it for side projects but right now I think the tech needs to get out of the way of the better user experience.

Ya, that seems about right for my project as well. Although mine won't be OSS so I'm more concerned with finding good ppl with Svelte skills vs React skills. I may need to bite the bullet once I'm closer to hiring. Thanks.

No problem. This is very poorly documented but this entire repo is built in Svelte. I'm porting over functionalities from it so this is a much more mature editor. If there's a specific implementation you want to learn about, let me know :)

I'm always happy to talk about Svelte! Though, I'm starting to enjoy the flexibility of jsx now that I'm back to using React.
