remove examples

[Rich-Harris]

I think the examples folder has probably outlived its usefulness, and the one example left in there (the HN clone) should be moved to sveltejs/sites: sveltejs/sites#272

Please don't delete this checklist! Before submitting the PR, please make sure you do the following:

• It's really useful if your PR references an issue where it is discussed ahead of time. In many cases, features are absent for a reason. For large changes, please create an RFC: https://github.com/sveltejs/rfcs
• This message body should clearly illustrate what problems it solves.
• Ideally, include a test that fails without this PR but passes with it.

Tests

• Run the tests with pnpm test and lint the project with pnpm lint and pnpm check

Changesets

• If your PR makes a change that should be noted in one or more packages' changelogs, generate a changeset by running pnpx changeset and following the prompts. All changesets should be patch until SvelteKit 1.0

Hmm. My initial reaction is that this would cause quite a bit of headache for me. I use the hn.svelte.dev example all the time when developing against Kit since it lives in the same repo. Perhaps I could use the basics app, but it lives a bit deeply nested within the repository and it doesn't really have an easily navigable homepage showing the various pieces of functionality that exist

[Rich-Harris]

The way I solve this problem is that I have a sandbox app next to the kit repo, with the following in its package.json:

"scripts": {
  "dev": "node ../kit/packages/kit/src/cli.js dev",
  "build": "node ../kit/packages/kit/src/cli.js build",
  "package": "node ../kit/packages/kit/src/cli.js package",
  "preview": "node ../kit/packages/kit/src/cli.js preview",
  "lint": "prettier --ignore-path .gitignore --check --plugin-search-dir=. .",
  "format": "prettier --ignore-path .gitignore --write --plugin-search-dir=. ."
},
"pnpm": {
  "overrides": {
    "@sveltejs/kit": "../kit/packages/kit",
    "@sveltejs/adapter-auto": "../kit/packages/adapter-auto"
  }
}

This is better, because I don't need to worry about git

Created https://github.com/sveltejs/kit-sandbox, which makes local testing and development easier

I think the contribution guide should probably also be updated. As this PR is already merged I'll create a new one for this.

[benmccann]

@nhe23 I sent a PR for that last night #3425

[nsmaciej]

It might also be worthwhile to update the link in the sveltejs/hn.svelte.dev README, seeing how it's still the number one Google result for "hn.svelte.dev". (It's archived right now so there isn't anything I can do)

[benmccann]

updated. thanks for the reminder!
