I've added Baseline status to the CSS property documentation tooltips I previously implemented in @chromium.social DevTools.

State of HTML 2025 Take the State of HTML survey

🚀 The #StateOfHTML 2025 survey is now open!

➡️ Take it now: survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

💡 Spending time to fill these out is an investment into your craft, as browsers are using the results to make prioritization decisions.

You don't have to do it in one sitting (or even one device).

"I'm leaving early"

Ok hear me out. For today only.

State of HTML 2025

The new "State of HTML" survey just dropped. 👇

survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

Usually, I discover many new things and HTML features when filling it out. So let's see, if there's interesting stuff in it. 🧵

(cc @lea.verou.me)

I think that was intentional, to avoid introducing bias and dropoff due to context switching away from the survey. As an alternative, you can add topics to your reading list to get more info about them after the survey.

The web’s getting powerful updates:

✅ New CSS APIs
✅ Gemini in #ChromeDevTools for smarter debugging
✅ Baseline integration in VS Code, ESlint, RUMvision, and more
✅ New built-in AI APIs + Hybrid Web AI solutions with Firebase and Gemini

Hey! Presents · What do you see? In this talk, Lola explores what it means to deconstruct an image and radically centre screen-reader users, using alt-text as an art space. How can we create an experience for screen-reader users that is just as creative and considered as the sighted experience?

In May I got to give my most favourite talk What Do You See: Alt-Text as an Artistic Medium at @heypresents.com Hey! All Day

If you missed it live, it’s now up on the world wide web!

Image reads "Baseline features are now available in linters"

Image reads "CSS and HTML linters warn you if a feature is newer than your Baseline target"

Image reads "Baseline supports ESLint for CSS, HTML ESLint, Stylelint"

Baseline is now integrated into key linters. Get proactive warnings in your code when CSS or HTML features don't align with your Baseline targets.

Find it supported for CSS, HTML ESLint, and Stylelint. Read more → goo.gle/4kxiHb9

I honestly get a whole dopamine bump of joy when I see things that make developers lives better by bringing lots of information together

An image demonstrating a web characteristic while hovering provides baseline insights.

🤩 If you want to check if a feature is fully supported in all browsers, you no longer need to change contexts or exit VS Code.

Starting from version 1.100 of VS Code, you can simply hover over the feature to access this information.

Patrick - How to convince your boss to sponsor Open Web Docs A blog post by Patrick Brosset: How to convince your boss to sponsor Open Web Docs

Does your organization rely on MDN for reference docs?
Do you often check browser compat on MDN or caniuse.com?
Do you use tools like browser DevTools or VSCode in your work?

If so, you rely directly on the work that Open Web Docs does and should consider sponsoring.

To convince your boss.

I'm going to allow this

Maybe mark it as non-conforming?

YouTube video by Chrome for Developers Performance debugging in DevTools

My talk from I/O: a 10min jaunt jam-packed with DevTools Performance panel goodness. youtu.be/BHqxD9qr6Gw

Really proud of what we've landed in the past year, including JS bundle analysis, framework tracing APIs, auto-annotations, CrUX context, and deep insights.

That does sound useful. Maybe something the WebDX CG could maintain, like some of its other utils

Yeah! Ideally someone can subscribe to whatever level of detail they want.

- tell me about every step of standards+impl progress for Temporal
- tell me whenever any feature becomes Baseline
- tell me when Safari adds support for anchor positioning
- tell me when Chrome supports a new CSS feature

This sounds cool, let me know if I can help
