Chrome 142 introduced a breaking change in the way to handles content coming from localhost. It turns out I'm relying a lot on this with WorkAdventure (to run local map test servers).
It took most of my time last week, so I wrote a blog post to share the knowledge!

How Chrome 142+ broke the local scripting workflow and how we fixed it | WorkAdventure
Chrome 142 introduced new protections against local network attacks. For most apps, that change is barely noticeable. For us, it broke a very specific, very common local development workflow.

fantastic article from @alan.norbauer.com about “Relay-style GraphQL”. i think these ideas haven’t been as broadly understood in the open source react graphql community as they deserve to be. (the exact comparisons with Apollo might be somewhat outdated; i have not checked. principles are solid.)

if it’s an app using inertia, don’t introduce livewire
if they use enums for statuses, don’t use strings
if the team uses the actions pattern, follow it
