Do you already know Houdini?

A few hours ago I discovered this amazing project by @AlecAivazis.

How about joining forces and creating a better library with more brains working on just one thing?

[jycouet]

No, I didn't know; thx for the link. (So you are abandoning KitQL?)
I had a quick look, and it seems good 👍

I'm very open to joining forces. I just have to know a bit more about it 😉
I will investigate a bit further in the coming days to see the different approaches.

Stay tuned

Here we are: https://github.com/frederikhors/demo-kitql-sveltekit.

This is my first attempt to a complex (not now) demo! 😄

[jycouet]

Thx for doing this.
I already see a few things😉.

1/ The backend delay simulation cannot be put there because you break all the caching mechanisms like that.
2/ Patch will also remove all caching (because today it's a "dummy" patch thing)
3/ in [code].index.svelte you did it only client way, so if you give the URL to someone it will not be SRR (not a big deal, but With KitQL you can compose better the app I think)

I'll open issues to speak more over there.
1/ #74
2/ #75
3/ I will PR your demo after. (today?)

1. Yeah it's totally wrong. Also because on destroy i need to clear the setTimeout. I'll update with new delay option too.

[jycouet]

You should not update it yet. I'm working on it!

For the patch, I figured out that you don't ALWAYS want to patch from the list! Especially if you have the detail already in the cache... You will patch with "less" data!
I'm doing something about it. Let's see!

[frederikhors]

Great!

[AlecAivazis]

Just wanted to hop in here and say that I would be very happy to bring in some more brain power into houdini if @jycouet is interested. There's a lot to do and finding a sustainable way to maintain a successful open source library is very tricky with only one person.

Please let me know if there's anything I can explain or help with

[frederikhors]

@AlecAivazis I can help too! Can we please find a way to organize a backlog? What are you using right now? Github projects?

[AlecAivazis]

Awesome! At the moment, I'm using a GitHub project to track the set of features I want to get in for the upcoming 1.0 release. Also you both should feel free to reach out to me on discord if you are a member of the Svelte server to chat about anything
