Gecko: Intent to Ship: CloseWatcher

🤩 I’m very (VERY!) excited about CSS `ident()` – a feature I proposed and specced – getting prototyped. This allows me to reduce the amount of CSS I have to write when multiple items that behave in the same need to have a unique name. See brm.us/ident for an intro.

Anyone who'd like to contribute to the HTML standard, I've outlined a good first issue: all of the "states" in enumerated attribute tables needs title casing. github.com/whatwg/html/... I've outlined some steps which would get you quite close to a working PR. Any takers? Happy to guide you!

Does anyone reading this work for Lidl in Germany? I think there's a cross-browser bug with the ChatWidget, I'd love to diagnose it further with anyone who has experience on the codebase!

What do you call this type of element where you hover over a user's icon or name and get more info/shortcuts to actions?

Lots of sites have this "hovercard" style pattern on links which shows you a cut-down preview of the page behind the link - often times with additional interactions. I wonder if anyone has any more examples? Especially sites which do this (display a rich tooltip) on non-links.

Browsers used to have a feature where you could add new context menu items. Is this worth reviving? Yes or No? Would you use it as a developer? What use cases do you have? Would you want this as a user?

Friday marked my last day at GitHub. I spent almost 8 years building one of my most favourite websites. It was truly a pleasure working on it, but I could feel my interest waning, not least due to React & the push for AI. Today I start at my new job... with totally renewed excitement!

As it's Friday (here at least) can all you webdevs do me a favour and make this simple code change: 1. Search for `aria-labeledby` in your codebases. 2. Change it to `aria-labelledby` (note the double L) 3. Submit a PR. 4. Congratulate yourself for your Friday contribution.
