We had a few starts and stalls around this (shipping it two months ago would have meant a less secure browser, which we didn't want to do)

But....it's ready! We managed to work with Castlabs to ship this without compromising other areas of security.

Coming to a production release near you soon!

Not every feature needs to be large to be useful.

Our target size tooling detects interactive elements that don't follow WCAG, Google Mobile Friendliness or Apple HIG guidelines. But sometimes that element might be behind our UI.

So in Polypane 25 we added a quick toggle to move it out of the way!

Polypane is always adding cool stuff. I really can't imagine developing anything without it. I give it my highest recommendation. Give it a whirl.

The web platform is moving pretty fast, and keeping an eye on things so you know when a feature is done enough for you to check out is pretty important.

Check out this excellent overview by @sachagreif.com, which includes our experimental web platform features overview (and some very kind words ❀️)
