One of these days, I won't be able to keep up with the amazing @astro.build community... but I live to fight another month! astro.build/blog/whats-n...

🎨 As we're getting closer to the release of Astro v6, let's take a trip down memory lane with a new Starlight theme which is heavily inspired by the timeless design of the legacy Astro documentation. github.com/HiDeoo/starl...

The Sanitizer API landed in Firefox 148, along with element.setHTML(). This lets you fully configure how HTML strings are cleaned as they're parsed. hacks.mozilla.org/2026/02/good...

The astro-d2 integration, transforming D2 in Markdown into diagrams, now experimentally support using D2.js, a JS wrapper around D2 to run it through WebAssembly. No local D2 installation, easier deployments, and the long term plan is to make it the default behavior. github.com/HiDeoo/astro...

Blink: Intent to Prototype: Speculative load measurement

🎉 Live from the CSS WG F2F: We just agreed to support multiple borders and outlines per element, comma-separated! But we can’t decide on the order: inside out or outside in? What feels more natural to you, A or B? (it needs to be the same across borders and outlines or different box-sizing values)

So there's a new meta element arriving in town (Chrome Canary first)? 👏 www.joshtumath.uk/posts/2026-0...

My book, Accessibility For Everyone, is now free and online as a website. accessibilityforeveryone.site The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech.

The gap between dev and prod has never been smaller 🔬 astro.build/blog/astro-6...

Today the Temporal proposal has entered the stable stream shipping Chrome 144. This opens the gates for attaining Stage 4 at TC39. That means tonight I will be purchasing a supply of champagne in preparation. It’s been a long journey and so very worthwhile!

What a year it has been! Such a great review 🥳

📜 The Starlight Changelogs plugin now supports changelog files using the Keep a Changelog format. github.com/HiDeoo/starl...

🤯 What did I just read? Is that an ad disguised as a GitHub comment on a discussion, generated by AI? This gotta be a new low point ...

This video is such a monumental step backwards. 😅

Design Tokens excitement!! Figma finally supports variable exports help.figma.com/hc/en-us/art... DTCG published a full spec for resolvers which enables GitHub-style theme inheritance www.designtokens.org/tr/2025.10/r...

I feel the dilemma is, that I feel responsible for being friendly and welcoming to make the experience nicer for newcomers to OSS, who may not yet know the manner well. But with AI messing this up, it's really hard to tell if it's a human behind I should take care or just AI doing terrible work.

It's merged! The next alpha/beta release @astro.build will support @vite.dev Environment APIs! It took a long time because we had to re-architect the whole rendering pipeline. With this, even the @cloudflare.social Vite Plugin will work out of the box!

🌟 Starlight 0.37 is now available with a bunch of bug fixes and improvements! Check out the full release notes: github.com/withastro/st...

Watching @jess.sh's Vitest browser mode talk at @viteconf.org immediately made me want to build an Astro renderer. Testing isolated Astro components in real browsers is a real prize. It took a bit of work, and still does't support Vitest 4, but I have I working package. Give it a try:

This is quite a banger feature for web perf engineers. In Chrome Canary, you can now turn on an experimental feature to throttle single requests! chrome://flags/#devtools-individual-request-throttling This is golden to check the performance impact of a delayed resource. 👏

🌟 Frontmatter links IntelliSense, navigation to headings when using "Go to Definition" on links with fragments, and Firebase Studio support. The latest version of the Starlight Links extension for Visual Studio Code is packed with new features and improvements. github.com/HiDeoo/starl...

Design Tokens specification reaches first stable version 🙌 www.w3.org/community/de...

We have reworked the @biomejs.dev architecture as generic as possible, so now these frameworks are supported. The new architecture will unlock: - Angular - Embedded formatting in JS files e.g. CSS-in-JS - Cross boundaries lint rules It will take a bit, but the basic bricks are there. Enjoy!

The Starlight links validator plugin now takes care of validating links in your frontmatter too, e.g. hero actions or prev/next links. Gotta validate 'em all! github.com/HiDeoo/starl...

I just wrote an article for my new website. "Toolchains, the hard parts". I hope you'll enjoy the reading 💪 ematipico.xyz/blog/toolcha...

Blink: Intent to Prototype: The inherit() CSS function

I recently published an early preview of a new Visual Studio Code extension providing IntelliSense for Starlight Markdown and MDX content links: internal links completions, fragments completions, go to definition/follow link, and hover preview. github.com/HiDeoo/starl...

This past year, I've been working on and off on the dream of every dev who never blog: My own static website generator. It's still early, but it works, it's open source, and so in this thread I'd like to show you all: Maudit, a Rust library to generate static websites maudit.org

Although it’s not a core task of my role as Chrome DevRel, I took the time to build something that I needed into DevTools: debugging support for CSS `@starting-style` rules. The feature is ready for testing in Chrome Canary.

Upvote this feature for Interop 2026: github.com/web-platform...

Another year of Interop improvements is coming up. Submit your proposals for features to be included in Interop 2026, and tell browsers what you most want to become Baseline next year. web.dev/blog/interop...
