Adults: it suck’s how binary everything is these days. Everybody is Team A or Team B and no earnest discussion happens.
Roblox: You have 10 seconds to pick a candy and then you’re given a rolling pin to beat everyone who picked the other candy to death.

Said time is, of course, the week of Black Friday — about which I have some Big Feelings: wil.to/newsletters/...
So, if you’re in a position where you’re able to do so, help me make sure JavaScript for Everyone lives up to its name by paying a little more for it.

Creating a universal app store for PWAs seems like an obvious win here vs. heuristics triggered installs. But think about smaller, more bespoke app stores! An app store for your intranet apps. An app store for your webring of online mutuals. An app store for kid-friendly apps. That's fun territory.
On the Edge team, we think web apps should be easier to install.
The default browser install button is great, but we'd like something which you can use on your own site, how and when you want it.
That's why we're proposing the Web Install API, which you can now test!

Great post from @gerireid.com about using AI for #a11y. Given that a11y is about accuracy, which is historically not an LLM's strong suit, plus the mountain of flawed training data... it's probably not the best tool for the job.
Anyways, relatable post on many levels.

Lowest setting. CSS powered flamethrower!
Yes, it is really controlled by CSS. I can add MIDI inputs. Then use CSS to trigger animations and output the result to DMX for controlling the flamethrower.
