ICYMI: In the most recent OTMT podcast episode, @jaffathecake and I talk about putting React in the browser.

While thatโ€™s good clickbait, the episode is about about past and present platform proposals that aim to help frameworks with managing the DOM.

๐Ÿงต New episode of the Off The Main Thread Podcast!

In this one, @jaffathecake and I talk about canvas-based web apps like Figma or Flutter apps and what you gain, what you lose, and whether it is worth it!

A feature with hidden potential. You can put several <img> inside the <picture> and all of them will display the source that was resolved by the browser. For example, the display of music album covers - the "cloned" image is used for a blurred background effect.

I've appreciated the recent posts from folks who are starting to find that React is no longer the right tool for them. That said, much of the discussion seems focused around developer experience problems, which are important, but can be worth tolerating if the user experienceโ€“the output of the toolโ€“is great. That's why it's important to add that from a performance and resilience perspective, the output of React sites on average has also been not great. UX should be top of mind in evaluating tech

As someone who has audited many, many sites for performance and usability, React sites have long been a major outlier there. The fragile, client-dependent patterns that the tooling encouraged early on may not be the chosen path for folks in the know anymore, but they made a lasting impact and continue to be visible in the most popular sites on the web. Most of the sites in this audit I did for WPT were that slow because of the React delivery patterns they used. https://blog.webpagetest.org/posts/will-html-content-make-site-faster/

Unrelated to anything: @jaffathecake and I recorded our next OTMT podcast on build tools last week. Not sure if that's of interest to people...

I quit twitter after Elon made some anti-trans tweet (and it wasn't his last). From everything I've seen, Twitter has only become more of a cesspool under that same leadership. But Tim Apple continued to invest something like $100 million (maybe 2-3x more?) in Twitter ads, and now the company is releasing full episodes of shows there? For a company that presents itself as inclusive, that certainly isn't reflected in the way they spend their money.
