Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

A friend asked for science fiction book recommendations, so I made a list on Bookshop. Support independent bookstores as well as your local freelancer who reads a lot... These are some of my favorites! #booksky bookshop.org/lists/scienc...

This time every year I try to get through my reading list. Usually it's a bunch of sci-fi but this is first on my list. PS: give me your sci-fi recommendations!

The ::details-content CSS pseudo-element is now part of Baseline → goo.gle/3KOg08B You can now style the expandable/collapsible contents of a <details> element, enabling smoother transitions and custom background colors for a better user experience.

Command invokers soon to be baseline newly available! Also field-sizing is finally here. Some other nice changes too!

TIL that `dns-prefetch` is now baseline "newly available". I've been using this for ages, but apparently, it only started working in iOS Safari with version 26. Here are the release notes: webkit.org/blog/17333/w...

👀 Navigation API will be available in all browsers soon 🎉 Completely redefines the APIs used to build client-side routers / SPAs 🫤 History API: popState, link click.preventDefault() ... ✅ Navigation API: clean, centralized way to intercept navigation events 👌

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to @manishearth.bsky.social on unflagging TC39 Stage 3 Temporal in V8 today. Heading for Chrome 144 🎉 By many metrics this new date-time API is the single biggest change to JS ever 🔥 V8 uses Boa's temporal_rs by @jason-williams.co.uk Kevin Ness & Manish 👍

setHTML(), Trusted Types and the Sanitizer API. Ollie Williams shows how these APIs protect against XSS by sanitizing HTML safely and enforcing trusted types. Supported in Firefox Nightly and Chrome Canary, with wider adoption coming. #security #html olliewilliams.xyz/blog/sanitiz...

Why does "vibe coding" usually not lead to anything productive? A great person to answer is @addyosmani.bsky.social: working on Chrome for 10+ years, and is the author of the book Beyond Vibe Coding. Watch or listen: • YouTube: youtu.be/dHIppEqwi0g • Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/12dW...

Building secure, real-time communication apps just got a major boost. WebRTC Encoded Transforms are now a Baseline Newly Available feature, enabling high-performance, end-to-end encryption on encoded frames → goo.gle/3Iy3md6

#JavaScript: When it comes to breaking up long tasks, the scheduler API seems quite convenient: await scheduler.yield(); Alas, not supported by Safari yet: caniuse.com/mdn-api_sche... Thankfully, providing your own fallback implementation is easy: web.dev/articles/opt...

Deprecating XSLT in browsers. Chrome plans to remove XSLT (the XML transformation language) due to low usage and security risks. Deprecation starts in version 143, full removal in 155. WHATWG, Firefox, and Safari expressed support. #browser #chrome groups.google.com/a/chromium.o...

this is going to be so useful when it finally lands in node 24 and we can make the same router run front/backend cleanly. combined with view transitions? c'mon! web.dev/blog/baselin... (ht @ash.pink for sharing)

atob was so confusingly named 😅

✅ Newly Available: CookieChangeEvent It lets you respond to cookie changes as they happen, using modern event-driven logic in your app or service worker. The event is fired when cookies are added, changed, or deleted. Try now 👇 developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/...

🏆 And the Baseline Tooling Hackathon winners are... → goo.gle/47KQ6ve Nearly 3,000 developers submitted hundreds of innovative projects, but only 3 could take home their share of the $10,000 prize pool.

JavaScript top-level await is no longer considered 'baseline' due to a pretty big Safari bug caniuse.com/mdn-javascri... The module graph fails in cases where two modules import a third at the same time. Demo: random-stuff.jakearchibald.com/bug-repros/t... It's best to avoid the feature for now 😔

Match URLs with a powerful, standardized syntax using the URL Pattern API → goo.gle/47iTr3o Now part of Baseline, this API provides a built-in way to create URL pattern matchers that can be used against URLs or individual URL components.

My little side project has been a capo plugin for ESLint so you can catch <head> validation issues during development

Quite the journey!

Maybe the least helpful code completion ever

We've already had a great response to this. Thank you everyone who took the time to make a ranking - I know there's a lot of proposals. If you haven't, there's still time! bsky.app/profile/fire...

We've taken the new version of the Core Web Vitals Tech Report out of Beta and now consider this the report to use: httparchive.org/reports/tech... Anyone still using the old Looker Studio-based report, it's time to check out the new goodness with much quicker response times and improved UX!

With View Transitions now being Baseline Newly available, and the View Transition API consisting of various features, it can be confusing to know what is supported in which browser versions. To help with that, I created this VT Feature Explorer (powered by View Transitions) web.dev/blog/same-do...

Largest Contentful Paint (from Core Web Vitals) is now available in Safari Technology Preview. webkit.org/blog/17504/r...

As an experiment, we (the Firefox team) wanted to try a new way to get feedback on which Interop proposals matter most. So, here's a web app where you can rank the proposals you care about, giving us data we can use when reviewing which ones to champion. interop-rank.jakearchibald.com

💥 did a small drawing explaining the JS execution model including the event loop. I hope it’s helpful to folks. Debugging is always easier when the underlying implementations are understood.

Simplify your build toolchains with native Baseline support → goo.gle/46cTnCR Thanks to a collaboration between the Browserslist team and the WebDX Community Group, a new set of Baseline queries has been included directly in Browserslist itself.

🔥 New blog post! Covering, among other things: - Why making simple things easy and complex things possible is not enough - How to maximize your UI’s signal-to-noise ratio - Why you can’t uncover friction through user feedback - How to prioritize user needs lea.verou.me/blog/2025/us...

Did you know that AVIF (the AV1 Image File Format) was supported in all the major browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome/Edge)? This has been the case for almost 2 years at this point.

✅ Baseline now has full feature coverage, making it easier to know which web platform features are ready to use. Build the next wave of Baseline-powered tools and compete for $10,000 in prizes → goo.gle/424SBWc

There's a nice series from @sturobson.com getting into *why* and *how* to "un-Sass" CSS. www.alwaystwisted.com/articles/UnS... @jeffbridgforth.com is making a similar leap and shares how he's approaching it: css-tricks.com/is-it-time-t...

The WebDX Community Group is hosting an AMA on the r/webdev subreddit tomorrow. This is the group behind the "State of ..." surveys and Baseline, so if you have questions about those initiatives—or anything else around developer experience, join us! web.dev/blog/baselin...

Before, you needed a plugin to use Baseline semantics in your Browserslist queries. Now you don't! Just give it a target like `baseline widely available` and it'll work out of the box Available in [email protected] and later web.dev/blog/browser...

Neat! 📸

Curious about what we do on the WebDX community group (i.e Baseline and web-features)? We're organizing a Reddit AMA on Thursday. Ask your questions here: www.reddit.com/r/webdev/com...

From idea to impact, that’s the journey 💡 The Baseline Tooling Hackathon is on! Create a project that solves real-world developer needs using Baseline data for your shot at a $10,000 prize pool. Don’t delay! Submissions close Oct 6 → baseline.devpost.com #WhatsMyBaseline

Safari 16.4 (March 2023) added support for MANY newly interoperable features which are expected to become Baseline Widely Available later this month, including: constructed stylesheets fetch metadata request headers font-synthesis-small-caps font-synthesis-style font-synthesis-weight (continued...)

Chrome Dev Tools upgraded to straight up underlining problematic elements. I like it, points to Google ⭐️ Many people never open the Issues panel, this is much better integrated.
