I tweet about UX, web design and new CSS/HTML/frontend web stuff.

Packed release of Google Chrome💫

flex-wrap: balance, responsive iframes, focusgroup attribute, background-clip: border-area, CSS text-fit property, light-dark() now works with images, CSS image() function, pseudo-classes for audio and video elements (e.g :playing, :paused)

Firefox Nightly is the first browser to ship the "text" import attribute

import text from "/file.txt" with { type: "text" };

Declarative Partial Updates and the Dynamic Markup (streaming HTML insertion) APIs have the potential to change web development.

Between flex-wrap: balance, CSS gap decorations and display: grid-lanes I feel like layout on the web is basically complete.

Implementing `polygon(round)` was a challenging yet incredibly rewarding process. We received tremendous support from the Blink CSS, Paint, Opera and Skia teams.
It’s finally set to debut in Chrome 150!

I’ve been experimenting with a new Inferno. It’s been 10 years since Inferno took off, and what better way than making it support hooks, TSRX and provide a level of performance that is incredibly consistent.

It shifts the paradigm too, rather than having component re-rendering, we have control flow re-rendering. What if we didn’t create virtual DOM, but use something better.

No signals, no blockdom, no signal-like API, just top-down rendering, but also something no one has considered before, or even explored.

It might be an interesting experiment just purely to go against the common trend of being fine-grained. Maybe you don't don't need fine-grained rendering, when the top-down rendering is mostly just data, and not UI.

Backed by an almost 1:1 API with React, minus RSC. It seems very promising.

More to come soon.

The @reactjs team don’t care about web standards

How many times has this happened?

[Ollie Williams @hypeddev]

HTTP/3 support is coming to both Bun and Node https://t.co/RiLhU31eOo

[Bun @bunjavascript]

In the next version of Bun

`Bun.serve({ h3: true })` enables experimental HTTP/3 support, powered by lsquic & uWebSockets.

1.99x higher throughput than HTTPS

Hopefully appearance: base will do away with this nonsense. It’s already implemented in Chrome Canary

[Aaron Gustafson @AaronGustafson]

It’s just a radio button. We really don’t need two component libraries, ARIA role remapping, and client-side JS to do what HTML already does. https://t.co/wVEbB9g0py

@nullvoxpopuli Use the Navigation API rather than listening to click events on links

[Addy Osmani @addyosmani]

@dhh Modern JavaScript can totally be shipped #nobuild. When I was in Chrome, we experimented with how feasible this was at scale. You can load around 50-100 smaller scripts/chunks before the cost of IPC benefits from using a bundler/tooling. But you can go pretty far.
