Todo list

• Compile Svelte components
• Partial hydration
• Create a logo
• Serve assets with proper headers (mime, cache-control, etag, …)
• Add various hydration/foraging strategies
• Analyse performance (timings, comparison, web vitals, …)
• Continuous deployment
• Continuous integration
• Use <svete:head> and a static template
• Benchmark building hundreds of pages
• Add motivations section (no partial hydration, SvelteKit & Deno, Snel, etc.)
• Figure out how to build Island.svelte cleanly
• Figure out how to serve islands.js cleanly
• Handle nested islands
• Allow imports of svelte/store, svelte/motion, svelte/transition, svelte/animate and svelte/easing, but not svelte/register.

About the name Mononykus

Mononykus is a svelte dinosaur of the late Cretaceous. The show “Prehistoric Planet” has a scene demonstrating the use of its large, singular claw to forage termite mounds. Mononykus was probably covered in majestic feathers.
