I chose Svelte for two reasons:
- It compiles all the code to runable functions and does not include the library. It seemed fitting for an app with very little code in it.
- I vaguelly remembered enjoing Svelte, when I tried it as it first appeared.
For theming I found this article by Josef Aidt and his super simple package svelte-theme
Colors were taken from this pattern
(This info would not go into an official doc, maybe into PR description ;-))
- I had to move from Webstorm to VSCode, as Svelte + Pretter + Webstorm did not work.
- I really enjoyed this mini project, I haven't use Svelte in years and I forgot about some of it's limitations and it was great fun to work around them.
- It took me a bit over 10 hours, which I think is the beauty of writting small projects using Svelte.
- I worked alone so I decided to simply commit straight to the
mainbranch. - I added the Kelvin scale
- As an additional feature I implemented some examples of metling / boiling points.
- No tests - as the app is rather simple, and I wouldn't have enought time to learn svelte unit test scripting, but that would be next on my list if I would spend on it a whole week.
- I tried avoiding scientific notation by using a formatted text field, but finally decided against it. Still the fields are text type as I am thinking a nice descriptive format with K/G/M/P/T notation might be nicer for average user and would be on my todo list.
