Svelte devtools are here
Big news for svelte devs (I think), I have created (or Claude did if we are being truthful) some svelte tools. I've been using svelte daily at work for the last 3-4 years and I've always been amazed at the lack of dev support in svelte but I am not that amazing of a programmer and neither do I have months to spend developing them, so out of curiosity I asked Claude to create the dev-tools. To my amazement after millions of tokens out of my pocket and a week of back and forth with Claude things actually seem to be fully functional.
They run as a plugin inside Vite devtools, or standalone tab with a little different rendering if you're not using those. Idk how they work without Vite, or if they do at all.
Don't get to hyped, they are not polished and it might be just a "it works on my device" vibed slop thing, but I think it's something that might save some other people dev time. I tried to refine them as much as I could and test them in both demo apps but also some much bigger projects but can't guarantee anything.

I'd be happy to hear what's broken, and would like more ideas on new features that could help the svelte development if added, but be mindful I am almost out of tokens for now and I won't touch the code with a 10 ft. pole manually.
Also any criticism towards the "release" part is welcome as well, I have no idea what I'm doing regarding the npm package so if anything is wrong do tell.
