State of HTML 2025 Take the State of HTML survey

State of HTML is live now!

Please take it if you care about the web platform! 🙂

These surveys are super helpful for our team to understand the state of the ecosystem and prioritize missing features/platform needs!

Do you have a web site/app that uses Canvas? What is it? How are you using it?

Share with the class 👀

Thank you, that's very helpful!

@romainmenke.bsky.social I'd love to hear how you think developers will use this and why it's important. The bug has lots of upvotes, is the stuff that's in the spec what people are clamoring for or is there something more people assume will work? Is a JS API important?

🙏🏼 Big thanks to @sachagreif.com @d12n.me @atopal.bsky.social @foolip.org!

Also, a TIL moment: you can easily get any Greek alphabet letter using HTML entities with the name of the Greek letter (e.g., θ ε, β, ψ...). Including the capitalized versions (Θ, Β, Ψ...)

It probably is obvious and everyone knows, but I learned it today 😊👍🇬🇷

[geometry-1] Proposal: Geometry Utility Methods · Issue #602 · w3c/fxtf-drafts Proposal: Geometry Utility Methods Summary This proposal adds common utility methods to the DOMRectReadOnly interface. These methods are widely used across DOM APIs and developer code, but currentl...

It occured to me that the web doesn't provide any utility functions for working with the geometry primitives (e.g. DOMRect), so I've proposed adding some: github.com/w3c/fxtf-dra...

Seems like an obvious addition to me, but curious if others agree? Any other obvious ones beyond what I've mentioned?

YouTube video by Web Conferences Amsterdam Form control styling - Tim Nguyen - CSS Day 2025

If you code websites, then you KNOW how it’s been to style form controls.

Watch this #cssday talk from @ntim.bsky.social to learn why it’s been so hard, and how we are going to fix it for the future.

Very cool to see Fontations being used in Servo! developer.chrome.com/blog/memory-... explains what it is, and it's enabled by default since Chrome 136.

You MUST listen to RFC 2119 It turns out you can just pay people to do things.

I've referenced it enough that now it's all I can hear when I read it. Now you have to hear it too 🙉 ericwbailey.website/published/yo...

State of CSS 2025 Take the State of CSS survey

Still a week left to take the State of CSS survey!

The survey hasn't got as many responses as last year, so any help sharing will be much appreciated :)

Just finished answering the State of CSS 2025. If you haven't yet, I highly recommend taking it as this will help browsers understand what matters most to you.

Every Election Is Now Existential A nationalist’s narrow victory in Poland offers a preview of many knife-edge contests to come, all across the democratic world.

Although many hoped otherwise, we do not seem to be returning to a world in which the center left and the center right compete over tax rates or budgets. Every election is now existential

Great talk about form styling by @ntim.bsky.social but not sure how useful/usable vertical forms would actually be… #cssday

State of CSS 2025 Take the State of CSS survey

The 2025 State of CSS survey is now open! survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

Such an exciting day.

I proposed if() last year and got CSS WG consensus to add it to the spec on my birthday (!) last June.

Now, less than a year later, it ships in the most widely used browser.

I think it can be a game changer for design systems, especially together with ident() & revert-rule.

A chart that explains what to do If You Find A Baby Songbird Out Of The Nest. Is it hurt or did a cat get it? (Cat bites & scratches cause deadly infections.) or, Has a person kept it for over a day, given it food or water, or gotten it wet? If yes, Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator or wildlife care center near you. An online search can help. If no, what does it look like? Eyes not yet open. You have a hatchling. It's very young. Eyes open; feathers few & may be in tube-like sheaths. You have a nestling. Feathered; awkwardly hops or flutters; tail & wings short. You have a fledgling. Many sharp teeth; large claw on second toe. You have a velociraptor. If a hatchling or nestling, can you see the nest? If yes, Return it to its nest. The parents won’t care if they can smell you. If no, Make a nest from a basket & dried grass. Wire it to a tree. (Note: A few species, like Juncos, need a nest on the ground.) If a fledgling, is it in immediate danger? If yes, carefully move it to a safer spot nearby. If no, DO NOT INTERVENE! Though the bird looks awkward, it’s in a natural stage & the parents are still feeding it. If a velociraptor, has it seen you? If yes, back away slowly. Do not show fear. If no, run. Watch for others that may attack from the sides. FYI: Some babies (eg. swifts, most woodpeckers) only sit on the ground if in trouble. When in doubt, keep watch & contact a wildlife rehabilitator if needed!

Finally, here's a quick guide to assessing songbirds that look like they might need help - prepared by the fantastic @rosemarymosco.com.
