Come hear @mia and me talk about some CSS/web things.

I'll be covering Cross-Document View Transitions for Multi-Page Applications (aka: "just websites") or maybe Scroll-Driven View Transitions which combines two of my favorite topics … still undecided.

At our recent AC meeting in Hiroshima, Japan 🇯🇵 Matthew Atkinson (Samsung) presented "Exploring making site navigation more accessible, with "well-known destinations."

Atkinson spoke on a proposal of the WAI-Adapt Task Force on making navigation more accessible. It suggests a standard way for a website to list its popular pages, aiding user agents in automatic discovery.

Have you heard about the Speculation Rules API but not found time to implement it on your website yet?

Well, we published a codelab for Google I/O to walk you through it on a demo site so you can see how easy it is to implement:

Try it out!

During lunch a friend mentioned that you can just supply a HTTP URL to vim on the command line and it would use curl to download that resource and allow you to edit the content. I jokingly asked whether if you enter :w it would then issue a HTTP POST back to the origin which is of course ridiculous.

It issues a PUT

New bookmarklet 🔖:

// Name this so it's quick to autocomplete  
// in the URL bar, like "Paywall be gone".  
javascript:(function(){window.open('<https://archive.today/'+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)>);})();  

Thanks, @paul for documenting how to use bookmarklets on Android Chrome: https://paul.kinlan.me/use-bookmarklets-on-chrome-on-android/.

w3cdevs, 7 days ago to languagelearning

The current frequency of language usage on the Web (e.g. 52% of websites in English) doesn't reflect the diverse cultural and linguistic needs essential for global access, highlighting the importance of internationalization (i18n).

Fuqiao Xue, @w3c i18n activity lead, gave a comprehensive report of past and future @webi18n work, collaborating with spec and #browser #developers to address gaps, particularly for endangered scripts and #languages.

Very proud of all the team has done over the last year to get ready for IO.

I hear AI is a thing now! :D

Looking to optimize Interaction to Next Paint?

This 28-minute demo is time well spent. Great deep dive into using the Performance tab in the Chrome DevTools, so you can hit the ground running and fix responsiveness issues.

On 30 April 1993, at Tim Berners-Lee's urging, CERN released the code for the World Wide Web to the public for free.

Thank you CERN and thank you Tim!

A while back in Learn Privacy, I said (https://web.dev/learn/privacy/fingerprinting#only_rely_on_the_user-agent_string_for_coarse_information):
“this results in every browser pretending to be every other browser, [and] claims, among other things, to be Mozilla/5.0, a browser which was released at the same time that the first astronauts boarded the International Space Station”. In case you thought I was lying or something check out this excellent little tale from @html5test about how the UA string can be entirely lies. Don’t trust it.

The popover API lands in Baseline

Exciting update for web developers - the popover API has landed in all modern browser engines. This will allow developers to more easily create contextual overlays on their sites. I'm looking forward to seeing the creative ways devs leverage this new capability to enhance user experiences.

📢 Chrome is toying with the idea of exposing a Web Translation API based on lazy-loaded, built-in browser #AI models:

translation.canTranslate(): Check if browser supports translation for language
translation.createTranslator(): Create translator object
translation.supportedLanguages(): List supported languages

translator.translate(): Translate string
translator.translateStreaming(): Translate string in chunks

A more limited scoped access token is coming to Mastodon 4.3!

Does your service just need to show basic account information when signing in with Mastodon?

Well as of 4.3 (upcoming), you can request the read:me scope.

toxi, 1 month ago to zig

Just updated all https://thi.ng/wasm-api packages, bindgen, build scripts, readmes and examples to be compatible with the brand new Zig v0.12.0 released a couple of days ago... This includes adapting to breaking changes (esp. Zig's build system) and updating the hybrid Zig/WASM/TypeScript project template:

https://github.com/thi-ng/tpl-umbrella-zig

For wasm-api user code only minor changes are required (if any), e.g. all Zig DOM event handlers need a callconv(.C) attribute now...

Happy coding!
