Thanks! Didn't know of this one. The description sounds a lot like Sapper. What's your opinion on Routify and Sapper?

I also checked out your profile. Saw that you've also written a lot of great articles on Svelte and Sapper! Happy to meet other Svelte enthusiasts here.

I agree, the two are similar. I'm keeping a close eye on Routify to see where it goes and may potentially contribute, especially in the area of incremental builds for static sites - something I really think would help Svelte gain more popularity.

At the same time, Rich Harris said at the Svelte Society day last Sunday that Sapper is not dead a good sign :). For now, I continue to use Sapper for my app as it's the official solution to running Svelte apps with routing, PWA support, etc.

Thanks for checking out my posts. I'm also writing a book where I use Svelte and Sapper and walk the reader through end-to-end development of a cloud native web app. Lots to come, but only few evenings and weekends to work on it :)

Oh wow! I did not know that there was any suspicion that Sapper might be dead. Good to know that it's not, I guess :)
