Context

The Svelte|Kit ecosystem is growing faster than ever and it might be a bit tough to keep up with the changes. However, plenty of resources with different ways to "lazy" monitor them exist. Since I happen to re-share the same links over and over again, I wanted to write them up (similar to my CSS, HTML, and Accessibility list).

A cool RSS reader app I like (iOS / MacOS) is Reeder.

here's what using newreleases.io and changedetection.io with Telegram bots can look like:
