add pagination and fix table layout issues

My drinks tracking app was showing all entries in one big list, which got unwieldy. I added pagination with Previous/Next buttons so you can browse through entries page by page. I also fixed a layout bug where long drink names would stretch the table and break the page, and corrected how alcohol percentages are displayed so they don’t show excessive decimal places.

docs/optional references

Jazz is a framework for building collaborative apps. I expanded the documentation on optional references — explaining when to use Jazz’s own “optional” versus the standard one from the validation library. This helps developers avoid a confusing gotcha when defining their data models, and I also fixed a couple of broken code examples along the way.

fix HTTP API link in inbox.mdx. Fixes #2687

A link in the Jazz documentation was broken because it had an extra .mdx file extension on the end of the URL. I removed the stray extension so the link goes to the right page again.

post 0.15 docs fixes

After Jazz released version 0.15, I cleaned up a few things in the documentation. I removed outdated references to the old version, added a clearer warning about a common setup mistake that was tripping people up (including me), and made sure all the installation guides mention the required Node.js version.

update README and .gitignore files

Jazz is a framework for building real-time collaborative apps. I cleaned up how environment files (which store secret settings like API keys) are handled across all the example projects. Previously some examples accidentally included real configuration files in the public repository. I made sure only template files are shared, with clear instructions for developers to create their own private copies.

add w-full to the pagefind container div

Jazz’s documentation site had a bug where the search bar was causing horizontal scrolling on the page, especially on small screens. I fixed it by making the search container take the full width of its parent, which stops it from overflowing.

update README files to reflect changes in local sync server setup

Jazz is a framework for building real-time collaborative apps that sync data between users. I updated the setup instructions across all the example projects to reflect a new way of connecting to a local sync server, so developers following along wouldn’t get tripped up by outdated documentation.

remove unnecessary console.log

I removed a leftover debugging statement from the Jazz codebase. Developers sometimes add temporary log messages while building features and forget to clean them up — this was one of those.

add Svelte provider documentation and metadata

Jazz is a framework for building collaborative apps, and it supports several UI frameworks including Svelte. The docs page for Svelte’s “provider” setup (how you connect your Svelte app to Jazz) was incomplete. I filled in the missing documentation so Svelte developers can properly set up Jazz in their apps.

fix missing $ in template literal

The Jazz docs had a code example for Svelte passkey authentication where a template literal was missing a $ sign. Without it, the variable inside the string wouldn’t actually get replaced with its value. I added the missing $ so the code example works correctly.

fix issue with reactivity and add Jazz Inspector

Someone built a minimal example app to demonstrate a bug with Jazz and Svelte, but the example itself had issues. I fixed the reactivity (making the UI update properly when data changes) by using Svelte’s built-in $derived feature, and also added graceful handling for missing images instead of crashing. I also added the Jazz Inspector debugging tool to help with further troubleshooting.

shadcn

I rebuilt the UI of my personal drinks tracking app using shadcn, a modern component library that provides clean, accessible interface elements. I also switched the project to use Bun as the package manager and tidied up some styling issues along the way.

add `@joeinnes/svelte-image`

The Svelte Society website maintains a directory of community-built components for the Svelte JavaScript framework. I added my own image component library to their registry so other Svelte developers could discover and use it.

add a daily excess metric which shows how many days you exceeded the recommendations. Type fixes

I added a new metric to my personal drinks tracking app that shows how many days you went over the recommended alcohol intake limits. I also fixed some type-related bugs along the way.

1.1.1-refactoring

I tidied up the code in my personal drinks tracking app — a small tool I built to keep tabs on my alcohol consumption. This included some general refactoring and a bug fix.

initial set-up

I set up the initial project structure for Tastine, a personal app built with Svelte. This was the foundational first commit to get the project off the ground.

fix readme typo

idle-task is a JavaScript library for running tasks during browser idle time so your app stays responsive. I fixed a typo in the README where “priority” was misspelled as “prioriy.” Ironically, my commit message also contained a typo — Muphry’s law in action.

create README

Chicken Dinner Timer is a web app I built for timing how long to cook chicken. I added a README file to the repo so visitors can quickly understand what the project is and how to use it.

explain double prime symbol better

I updated the README for a small project about double prime vowel symbols used in linguistics. The explanation of what the double prime symbol is and how it’s used wasn’t clear enough, so I rewrote it to be easier to understand.

update README.md

I updated the README documentation for my personal blog, which is built with SvelteKit.
