The first @astro.build v6 + Svelte 5 website I’m happy to ship to production. Prelim. result of migrating a „historically grown“ content-heavy website (500+ routes). We tried to tackle to complexity by nesting & some shallow routing trickery I owe to @vtbag.dev. Really grateful for Server Islands 🙏

Oh wow, the shallow routing trick has been in the making for a long time… but now its properly linked up with Svelte’s reactivity via createSubscriber. That’s how the mobile nav knows when we transition bsky.app/profile/fubi...
