Started an Awesome Cross-Origin Storage list: github.com/tomayac/awes... . Transformers.js, WebLLM, wllama, Flutter, Emscripten, Nuxt and Vite plugins, and a bunch of demos… #Awesome #CrossOriginStorage

👀 Look, ma! The Cross-Origin Storage extension running on Firefox! If you dare, install it via `about:debugging` from github.com/web-ai-commu.... Else, just wait for it to be approved on the Firefox Add-on Store. More background on #CrossOriginStorage: github.com/WICG/cross-o....

Really great questions and comments on @danielroe.dev's posts on Nuxt's experiments with the Cross-Origin Storage API (github.com/WICG/cross-o...): 🐘 Mastodon: mastodon.roe.dev/@daniel/1168... 🦋 Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/dani... 💼 LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/posts/daniel...

right now testing it out means: ⚪ using the vite plugin or nuxt module ⚪ installing an 'unpacked' version of a chrome extension that polyfills this functionality ⚪ checking to see if your site still builds, and ideally comparing output _across_ several sites

I'm working with @tomayac.com to build bundler integration for this (currently a nuxt module + a vite plugin) I'd love to know: 1️⃣ if this sounds like a good idea you'd use 2️⃣ if you wanted to test it out and see if it might make a difference for you ... happy to help if you have questions! 🙏

wouldn't it be nice if sites could share a cache of common js? ... stuff like react, or vue or svelte? 👉 there's an early stage proposal for cross-origin storage which enables exactly this. there are challenges but I think it's very interesting indeed

Meet Google DevRel Engineer @tomayac.com, who specializes in Web AI and WebAssembly. At #GoogleIOConnect Berlin, Thomas will focus on helping developers build privacy-first, on-device AI web apps natively in the browser, entirely client-side and with zero API keys required.

@tomayac.com colaborated with us on implementing the Cross-Origin Storage API in Transformers.js. Read his blogpost to learn how to try out the API right now🤗

Emscripten 6.0.1 is out! 🚀 github.com/emscripten-c... Includes support for Rust's wasm-bindgen, and the new Cross-Origin Storage browser API. Also we are now using Github releases (as in the link here)

Very excited to share a guest post I wrote for the Hugging Face 🤗 blog! Experimenting with the proposed Cross-Origin Storage API in Transformers.js! 👉 huggingface.co/blog/cross-o... This proposed API has the potential of revolutionizing the Web—a little bit. Learn more: github.com/WICG/cross-o...!

I'm in the #Emscripten release notes: github.com/emscripten-c.... New experimental `-sCROSS_ORIGIN_STORAGE` linker flag integrating the proposed Cross-Origin Storage Web API (github.com/WICG/cross-o...) as a progressive enhancement for #Wasm loading on the Web target: emscripten.org/docs/compili....

The one and only @danielroe.dev hacking Cross-Origin Storage (github.com/WICG/cross-origin-storage) support into @nuxt.com. Still loads to do, but a proof of concept works, which means in the future each Nuxt app could share its copy of @vuejs.org with each other Nuxt app. "This is very doable." 🤩

i’m really interested in this proposal 👀 anyone interested in testing it in their sites to see the potential savings?

@tomayac.com 's I/O talk has some great ideas for incorporating AI features into a web app, using the Built-in AI APIs. I'll definitely steal some of those ideas and put them in the admin interface for my personal blog Watch the talk here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddBx... #WebAI #BuiltinAI

An experimental polyfill for the Prompt API: developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/prom.... Uses Transformers.js w/ Gemma 3 1B when the Prompt API isn't supported, but you can also use cloud backends (or other models). ```js if (!('LanguageModel' in self)) { await import('prompt-api-polyfill.js'); } ```

A CSS `image-animation` property: groups.google.com/a/chromium.o.... The example below would pause all animated images (like GIFs), and only play them when hovering or focusing an image: ```css img { image-animation: paused; } img:hover, img:focus { image-animation: running; } ```

Just published a polyfill for <input type="checkbox" switch>: github.com/tomayac/inpu.... Here's a quick demo: tomayac.github.io/input-switch.... A little proud of how this conditionally only loads when it's needed. Compare Chrome (above, needs the polyfill) and Safari (below, doesn't need it).

Binaryen, the WebAssembly optimizer toolchain project, is now listed on the wasm website's features page: webassembly.org/features/ As mentioned there, it has support for all standardized features (and many in-progress ones)

Technological openness is a concept intended to characterize the design of technological transformation processes. In political debate, technological openness is often used as a rhetorical device to prevent the introduction of new technologies, thereby maintaining the status quo. #technologieoffen 🇩🇪
