You're totally right. This is good feedback β we'll have a think about how we can best address this.

I admire Rich Harris' work as well. 4 years ago I was picking my first SPA framework. Narrowed it down to Ractive and Vue. Picked ractive, it had a beautiful documentation and tutorial. Still have an app in production based on ractive.
But author abandoned it. Then vue 2 took off. I didn't have a choice but switch. Recently I started playing with Svelte/Sapper again. I like it a bit better than vue for some reason and was looking to use it in the next project of mine. So svelte 3 comes at right time for me.
The author is a brilliant developer, but he should narrow his focus on Sapper/Svelte now, beside which he has many other projects (rollup, etc...)

To be clear though, Ractive is still under development by other maintainers: https://github.com/RactiveJS/Ractive.
> he should narrow his focus
Not to speak for him, but I think Rich is an "idea guy" and we'd all miss out if he were throttled to just one thing :-)
I know it's a solved/solvable problem but it feels like better docs and samples in quick start guides would help.
