Glad to see you here Lee!

> We're just supporting Rich and helping the project grow!

I'll admit that I have a negative bias towards this... in spite of Basecamp+RoR, Mozilla+Rust, or all the great OSS HashiCorp makes, it's still hard for me to believe that business do anything out of the goodness of their heart.

Is there a strategic goal for hiring Rich? is it that Svelte is used so much in house that it only made sense to support it? Is it to get more cred with developer by supporting projects they love?

Again, sorry if this question is to skeptic and cynical... I love to be wrong on this! :)




In the case of Vercel, I'd imagine that improving svelte's reach positively affects them commercially seeing as they're a major player in the relatively small market of svelte hosting.
