New native extensions to the State Rune: Local storage, Debounce, and URL/Hash

One thing I really love about Svelte is how much it gives you natively, without needing to rely on third-party libraries for basic frontend UI patterns.

However, I keep seeing the same few pieces of functionality repeated again and again, not only in my own codebases, but also across tutorials, examples, and real-world apps:

• Local storage state: custom logic to sync state between local storage and local component/app state (use-case: user preferences)
• Debounce state: debouncing state updates, especially before triggering network request (use-case: reactivly making request upon typing in an input field).
• Hash URL state: syncing state with the URL hash (use-case: storing filters in the URL which are then sharable/bookmark-able).

Yes, all of these can be implemented manually, and the implementations are usually not too difficult. But because these patterns show up so often, I think having more native support for them in Svelte would be incredibly useful.

These are the kinds of small-but-important primitives that make building great frontend applications smoother, more consistent, and less repetitive.

Curious what others think: would it make sense for Svelte to provide native primitives for these patterns?

Personally, I think this should be done in user land, see e.g. https://runed.dev/
