My name is Chris, and I have a career that spans nearly 25 years focusing on frontend web development and interface design. I love the web, technology, and video games.

I also serve as the creator and core maintainer for Skeleton (https://www.skeleton.dev/), an open source design system and component library currently available for Svelte and React (with Vue and Solid.js coming soon). I've grown the project from a small internal toolkit for a 5 person startup to a fully featured standalone library. We average around 80k downloads a month, have nearly 6k stars on GitHub, and community of over 2k members on Discord. I recently traveled to Barcelona Spain for the Svelte Summit where I had the privilege to meet many of my peers in the Svelte and greater open source community - including Rich Harris (creator of Svelte), who praised our work on Skeleton.

I would love to work on FOSS all day every day, but in order to support myself I split my time and operate as a freelancer alongside my open source contributions. This means I'm currently available around 20-30 hours a week Monday-Friday.

I'm open to any sort of interesting project with a focus on frontend web. I'm also available to act in a consultant role. I'm ideally seeking projects that make a positive contribution to society.

Thanks for your consideration!

Not sure if this satisfies your question, but I'm the creator of the Skeleton UI library: https://github.com/skeletonlabs/skeleton

Our documentation is all Svelte and dogfoods our own UI components. We've got dozens of pages and components here. Scale is from small to large. All open source so give it a go.

I come from a background in Angular over the last 10 years. Built several large SaaS apps and admin systems. I'd have no hesitation using Svelte in it's stead. In fact I'd probably get it done in half the time and half the code.

You might check out Skeleton (full disclosure, I'm one of the creators)

When my partner and I were getting started with Svelte we noticed there was plenty of wrapper libraries, but very few that lean into the benefits of Svelte specifically. We wanted something like Mantine from the React world.

We're still early days (open source and public for about a month) but the feedback has been really positive. The one thing to note is we pair heavily with Tailwind, so if that's not your jam the library may not be for you. However for any sizable app where you're building with a design system, something like this can fit right in.

Hopefully you can give it a try and it helps out! My username is the same on our Discord if you need any help!

I have over 20 years experience in design, development, UX, and even some game dev. I've held leadership roles in multiple startups, agencies, and large corporations. I'm a master of many trades have helped get multiple startups off the ground. I am the creator and core contributor to Skeleton - a fully open source UI component library for Svelte + Tailwind. View it here:

My availability is negotiable, but general idea is I'm avoiding full-time so that I may continue to contribute to various open source initiatives (Skeleton, etc). I'd estimate ~20-30 hrs/week for your project(s).

Hi, my name is Chris. I have over 20 years experience between development, design, UX, and game making. I'm the creator and core contributor to Skeleton, an open source UI library for Svelte + Tailwind:

https://github.com/Brain-Bones/skeleton

It was recently featured on Smashing Magazine here:

https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2022/08/skeleton-svelte-tai...

I'm really keen to work for projects that allow me to flex my broad skill set in the gaming or tech markets. If you need help getting a product or company off the ground, then please reach out. I'd love to discuss how I can help!

The startup I was working for went under at the end of May, so I've been putting my focus into a new UI component library I started at the beginning of the year. It's called Skeleton [1] and utilizes Svelte + Tailwind. Makes building UI for SvelteKit apps a breeze.

Reception has been great so far, just trying to get the word out and gather feedback and additional contributors.

I launched a Discord [2] today. Feel free to stop by and say hello!

I'll take a look. Thanks!

This is a UX problem, not a technical issue. I think you may be misguided in assuming that if the "www." portion was present to users that they would automatically understand the issue at hand.

This is a false assumption. Your average user has probably never realized that "www." is not optional, and that with and without it are resolving differently.

This is very much a problem that you can, and should, solve FOR your users via properly configured DNS settings. Otherwise you're picking an odd hill to die on.

I promise I mean no disrespect. In fact, to put it another way, even if Chrome did what you said, it would not solve your issue - which is users failing to reach your site. Hope you can get it sorted with your provided, or switch to another. I've had good luck with Route53 via AWS.

Unless you're still supporting IE, which is a big gotcha for some I know, then modules are a go now: https://caniuse.com/?search=modules

Vite is one of the first tools I know of taking advantage of this: https://vitejs.dev/

"On demand file serving over native ESM, no bundling required!"

I just launched a small production site using SvelteKit, which now uses this under the hood.

Sometimes the best solution is to get the truth from the horse's mouth. I believe if you ask something like "Siri, are you a real person?" it will say something like "I'm not a real person or a robot...".
