JTK That is fine, and I'm glad that you didn't deploy this. I had noticed that you didn't provide an online working version. But I wanted to mention it because you do encourage others to follow along (with boilerplate repos included) and if people do deploy what they created, they are putting their Fauna keys at risk.

You mention that you need to keep your Fauna key safe, which I agree with. However, you then embed those keys into your app. Those keys will ship as part of your JS files. Since the keys you created in this example are admin keys I'm guessing that would give someone full access to your data. You might be ok with some restricted read-only keys. Otherwise, you may want to move your data access to something like a serverless function. The Vue CLI documentation specifically says not to store private or secret information in the .env files.

Always great to see Svelte getting favorable press. One thing I thought I would mention is that while $$props will work to access properties, it isn't the official way of doing it. As per the Svelte docs , you want to have something like this in your script block: export let db; export let q;
