I dig the simplicity, but why didn't you use Sapper?
(Next.js/Nuxt pendant based on Svelte, can also be used as static site generator).

- automatic SSR (Server Side Rendering)
- possibility to export to server-less plain HTML/CSS/JS
- option to resource preload/fetching on mouseover/touchstart (a headstart of 300+ms)
- serviceworker cache: PWA, offline support, etc.
- session stores
Sure there is room for improvement (e.g. i18n), but it very useful and powerful already today.
But now I wanted to explore how one would build something like Sapper, this is why I went for base Svelte and then added a router. I now have pretty much what I used Sapper for and the setup is simpler.
Also, Sapper doesn't seem to be in active development.

For three months or so, but I wouldn't worry about that, because just a thin layer on top of Svelte, and the maintainer is very active in the Svelte repo it seems. It may only get bumps if something breaks.
