Svelte has no routing for client-rendering, and itself recommends everyone to just use SvelteKit as boilerplate, which is SSR-first.

I spent two months with SvelteKit for a SPA project,it did not fly, the SSR-first (e.g. documentation etc) made CSR-SPA a second class citizen plus added unnecessary burden for those who does not need SSR, no it's not as easy as just "setting this flag you will be golden for CSR".

If I need SSR sometime, I might as well just do Django, Rails, Laravel etc which are solid. Please give me a true SPA as it used to be, and make SSR optional instead of the default.

SvelteKit is the "router".

We use SvelteKit for a internal application that we embed into a Go binary. It as simple as adding adapter-static as the adapter and not using .server files.

You can use SvelteKit the exact same way as the API for server and client are nearly the same. Load function on the server work the same as the Load function on the client expect for where they are called.

What problems did you have?
