Reinstate svelte 3/4 tutorial

[wheresrhys]

Describe the problem

I maintain a project that needs updating about once a year. It's the only svelte codebase I work in, and every time I return to it I inevitably need to refresh my memory of svelte fundamentals. The tutorial was great for this, but now a tutorial for svelte 5 is all there is. I don't want to upgrade to svelte 5 as a precursor to making the small changes I need to do, but am struggling to find good learning resources for svelte 3.

Describe the proposed solution

Make the tutorial for svelte 3/4 available on something like https://svelte.dev/tutorial/legacy-api

Importance

would make my life easier

[dummdidumm]

It is available at https://v4.svelte.dev/tutorial

[wheresrhys]

@dummdidumm Can I rephrase this question in that case as 'make it easier to find v4 docs'. I can't find a link to them anywhere on the site

The old site is linked to from https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/legacy-overview - I don't think we want to make this too prominent. People looking for information about legacy features sounds like the right audience.

I don't think we want to make this too prominent. People looking for information about legacy features sounds like the right audience.

But I was looking fro information about legacy APIs, and I couldn't find it. What would be so bad in making it easier for people like me. It's not as if the site navigation is overloaded or cluttered. It's not uncommon - arguably it's close to being a convention - for projects to include a version selector in site navigation (jest, react, eslint, vitest, vite, next.js, webpack ... the last 2 are also open source projects run by vercel)

What are the benefits to the svelte project of making it harder to find than in other popular projects?
