YAY! 🤩 WasmAssembly episode about #Kotlin and #WebAssembly 🚀 Thanks, @tomayac.com, for inviting me. Have fun! 🎧

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; } ```

Introducing the `<geolocation>` HTML element: developer.chrome.com/blog/geoloca.... This is the evolution of the `<permission>` element, and there's cross-browser interest! 📍🗺️

📢 New blog post: A polyfill for the HTML switch element. Safari 17.4 added the native `<input type="checkbox" switch>` element. This post introduces a polyfill for it, covering accessibility, internationalization, styling, and its HTML spec status. blog.tomayac.com/2026/01/12/a...

📢 New #WasmAssembly podcast 🎙️ episode: Scala.js to #Wasm—Exploring the #WebAssembly backend for #ScalaJS with Sébastien Doeraene! 🍿 www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuPG... 🎧 wasmassembly.libsyn.com/scalajs-to-w...

The JVM-to-Web journey continues! Scala.js is making the experimental leap to #WebAssembly → goo.gle/49dCRUB#WebAssembly Join @tomayac.com and Sébastien Doeraene as they discuss mapping Scala.js’s nominal type system onto Wasm GC.

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 🇩🇪

My #WebAI Summit talk "Built-in AI in the wild: A Mastodon translation success story" is now live: youtu.be/-l2BUUdBDS8?.... I had so much fun giving this talk, and in it I teach you the German word for waving back at someone who wasn't waving at you: Fremdwinkzurückwinkungspeinlichkeit 🇩🇪 👋 😳.

📢 New blog post! Running Node.js 🐢🚀 in a Hugging Face 🤗 Space: blog.tomayac.com/2025/11/03/r... I found out about Hugging Face Spaces and that it supports Docker, which allowed me to create an evergreen template for running Node.js in a Hugging Face Space.

Chrome now comes with the built-in AI model Gemini Nano 🧠. ⬇️ But when is the model downloaded? 🆕 How do updates work? 🗑️ Does the model ever get purged? All these questions are covered in my new article "Understand built-in model management in Chrome"! 🔗 developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/unde...

ICYMI: @marianoguerra.org and I had a fun conversation with Thomas on the WasmAssembly podcast, all about our book @wasmgroundup.com. You can watch it here, or find it wherever fine podcasts are sold.

📢 New #WasmAssembly podcast 🎙️ episode: #WebAssembly from the Ground Up with @dubroy.com and @marianoguerra.org.

Before the built-in AI APIs in Chrome can be used, the underlying AI model and any customizations must be downloaded 🌐, the data be extracted 🗜️, and be loaded into memory 🧠 . My guide documents best practices for improving the UX as they wait: developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/info... #WebAI #BuiltInAI

👋 Hi Bluesky! I've opened github.com/bluesky-soci... that adds built-in translation as a progressive enhancement on browsers that ship the Translator API developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/tran... (Chrome 138+). On other browsers, it falls back to the present behavior of linking to Google Translate.

We're excited to announce the release of version 0.0.10 of our TypeScript types for Built-in AI APIs, now featuring support for the brand-new Proofreader API! Check it out and upgrade today: www.npmjs.com/package/@typ... @tomayac.com #BuiltinAI #WebAI

In #WebAssembly spec news, #Wasm 3.0 is complete 🎉! Read all about it in Andreas Rossberg's article: webassembly.org/news/2025-09....

On the Chrome team, we've a cool new origin trial for you to try in your apps: the Proofreader API: developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/proo.... ❌ tyop → ✅ typo ```js await (await Proofreader.create({ expectedInputLanguages: ['en'], })).proofread( 'Let us knwo how it foes', ); ``` #BuiltInAI #WebAI

For anyone understanding 🇩🇪 German: we recently did a whole podcast episode with @tomayac.com on all these APIs (also talking about how Google and Microsoft back them with their individual own LLMs, Gemini / Phi): workingdraft.de/677/

Did some exploration around stress-testing the multimodal capabilities of the Prompt API and found out that apparently it's quite 🎨 color-sensitive: blog.tomayac.com/2025/09/16/p.... Not something super actionable, other than maybe a heads up to play with color-preprocessing.

For all that's holy, can you just leverage the Web, please? 🔗 blog.tomayac.com/2025/09/03/f... A blog post about our washing machine and registering it, so we get 10 years of warranty. Featuring call center hell, website hell, customer comms hell, and an actually useful #WebAI feature with demo.

I had the honor of being on the @workingdraft.de podcast again to chat about built-in AI APIs we're working on in Chrome. Give the episode a listen 🎧!

📢 New blog post: What a diff'rence a semicolon makes: blog.tomayac.com/2025/07/26/w.... Hat tip to André Jaenisch (not on Bluesky?) and @chriscoyier.net for pointing me at (André) and creating (Chris) the Web Development Merit Badges that I'm mentioning in the post.

On July 15, 2025, I'll give a talk at the #ReactJS #Barcelona #meetup on "Adding Built-in AI API support to Mastodon": www.meetup.com/es-ES/reactj.... You'll learn about built-in #WebAI APIs and how to use them in the large-scale React app Mastodon! (Caveat: PR pending—but it works on my machine 🫣…)

My #LocalFirstConf talk "Learn just enough about Chrome built-in AI to be productive" is now on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=klKU.... This was a really fun one, hope you like it! 🍿

AI in Chrome, @tomayac.com did a live demo in Chrome Canary of the following APIs: - LanguageDetector - Translator - Summarizer - LanguageModel Exciting stuff, love the live coding/demo. #JSNation

Learning about the new built-in AI APIs in Chrome from @tomayac.com. He’s popped open dev tools and is coding it all live. #JSNation @jsnation.gitnation.org

Dinner with great people❤️! @tomayac.com @shivaylamba.bsky.social @xenova.bsky.social @philna.sh

Super relieved that eventually all of my live demos at my #JSNation talk "AI Right in the Browser With Chrome’s Built-in AI APIs" worked. Here are the slides with links to all demos: goo.gle/jsnation-bui.... (Photos courtesy of @tunetheweb.com.)
