Building With SvelteKit

" summary

Claims that SvelteKit (release candidate) cuts shipped JavaScript and developer workload, showing a demo that fetches ~100 coins from CoinLore and characters from the Rick and Morty GraphQL API, comparing waterfall versus parallel loads and using page.js load + page.server for secret-safe requests. Live demo uses Svelte stores and $-syntax, Urql/Houdini bindings, and link prefetch on hover to shave milliseconds. Presenter quotes roughly 40% less code versus React and shows the app works and feels snappier in low-power scenarios.
