What Hacker News says
7 sourcesI'm pretty out of the loop when it comes to Svelte/Sapper. I've looked at it, but never used it. However I did recently spot that they're already working on a successor to Sapper called Svelte Kit. So maybe that's why Sapper isn't at 1.0, and maybe never will be.

In Next.js 10Putting node_modules within src-folder
1 points · Open discussionhey nikolas! Svelte's Sapper generates its own @sapper modules I believe. https://github.com/sveltejs/sapper/
In Prisma 2.0 Beta: Type-safe Database AccessWould be great to have an example of Guess.js with https://github.com/sveltejs/sapper
In Guess.js: Libraries for enabling Machine Learning driven experience on the webWe might change it. There's an issue open if anyone is motivated to comment

In Sapper – Progressive web apps powered by SvelteThis is an excellent list, thank you. To answer some of the points:
Sapper supports partial streaming of server-rendered HTML (typically you'll get most of the <head> while it's fetching data for your page, unless there's no dynamic data in which case you get the whole lot instantly).
I'm not convinced there's actually a benefit to 'server' rendering in a service worker as opposed to serving a shell page. We have an issue for it though! (https://github.com/sveltejs/sapper/issues/22)
Sapper supports prefetching (including of dynamic data) of subsequent pages — just add rel=prefetch to <a> elements (we'll add a programmatic way to do this in future as well).
As for the rest, some of it is app-specific, some of it is stuff the framework could help with. We're not at version 1 yet, so bear with us :)
