Jazz has a status page that shows whether its services are running. During an outage, the "status" indicator correctly showed things were down, but the latency chart right next to it was still bright green, which was confusing and misleading. I made the latency bar turn red whenever there's an active outage, so the visual indicators are consistent.
Jazz is a framework for building collaborative apps that store data locally on your device. I added a button to Jazz's built-in developer tools that lets you clear all your local data, which is useful for testing and debugging. It comes with a clear warning so you don't accidentally delete things, and I also built a reusable confirmation dialog to go with it.
Jazz is a framework for building real-time collaborative apps. I fixed the Vue.js chat example app so it properly uses Jazz's built-in helpers for sending messages and handling image uploads, instead of the outdated approach that had stopped working.
Jazz is a framework for building collaborative apps. I made a batch of small fixes across the docs -- updating React Native setup instructions, standardising how user profiles are defined in examples, adding missing options to the React setup guide, and cleaning up a few other rough edges.
Jazz is a framework for building real-time collaborative apps. There was a typo in the package configuration that meant Svelte developers couldn't import Jazz's testing utilities. I corrected the file path so that the testing tools can be found and imported properly.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
