Anyone used Svelte with Unpoly? What is the experience like?


What are the pros and cons of using both for front-end development?

I have used and unpoly but not together. It seems to me that they would conflict since they are trying to do the same thing but I’m different ways.

Svelte is a very clean frontend framework that needs a lot less rituals than, say, react to do what you need it to do. Your backend send data (JSON) and svelte renders it.

Unpoly is designed for your backend to send HTML and unpoly (among other things) avoids full page reloads when you navigate to another page. It has some other very nice functionality that, if included from the beginning in the architecture, can completely avoid needing a frontend framework.
