looks so good!

The early days of the world wide web were wild times, filled with gaudy colors and blink and marquee tags. Everything was positioned using creative employments of table tags. CSS and Javascript were just fantastical dreams. And ads... The complete and utter lack of ads.... It was glorious.

JavaScript code snippet lists an inventory of items with names, types, and quantities, demonstrating `Object.groupBy()` functionality.

Stop writing reduce() just to group an array ✋

`Object.groupBy()` works on all major browsers, helping you group array elements by any key in one line.

Clean, readable, no dependencies.

Progressive enhancement as a benefit of CSS Nesting

Something I knew is that in browser that support CSS nesting you can nest @media queries inside of other CSS declarations. What I only fully grasped a few days ago is how well this works for progressive enhancement.

Amazing how we went from not being able to style selects, to doing things like this with them codepen.io/editor/cbols... (and this codepen.io/t_afif/pen/P...)

You can do a lot with [popover] and [focusgroup] without writing a single line of JS.

Making keyboard navigation effortless. Introducing focusgroup.

Focusgroup is a new HTML attribute, with early support in Edge, Chrome, and other Chromium-based browsers, that completely handles arrow key navigation within complex widgets. No JS needed!

YouTube video by CodePen A Bit on the [geolocation] Element

A few min on <geolocation> in HTML/CSS/JS.

1. I like how explicit it is for users & how it helps "recover" from incorrect permissions.
2. It's *super interesting* how it checks the contrast accessibility and just makes the button not work if you dink it up.

I really dislike the border around web pages. It's my least favorite thing about Zen.
Adding a quick hover effect to the sidebar when using vertical tabs would be nice. My favorite browser setup takes 3 clicks to open, switch tabs then close the sidebar so hovering over the sidebar would be nice.

"I’ve come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.” — Douglas Adams

Hm, I'm not seeing it the site yet, just reset and result.
