My guess is more web apps, but this should be possible to answer through user research. A third category to watch is mini apps that stay within the AI super apps. The incentives to do this seem strong, and it risks creating lock in effects for those super apps, threatening both native and web.

Hmm, I've sometimes been confused about when it shows and think I've both enabled and disabled it manually at different times. Maybe the defaults could be simplified, seems worth investigating?

Philip Jägenstedt @foolip.org · 23/09/2026

Wait, isn't the bookmark bar already disabled by default? Do you mean the thing that goes between the omnibox and the webpage if enabled?

Took a bit of inspiration from npmx and added a chart to developer-signals.dev showing total upvotes over time This one's for the Temporal API. I love how you can see little surges in developer interest, first in December and again this month.

A screenshot of a "Signal trends" card, showing a yellow line on a timeseries chart going from near-zero in October 2025, jumping up by nearly 100 votes in December 2025, gradually gaining votes throughout 2026, until spiking up again in September 2026. The current total number of upvotes is 237, with 37 of those being in the last 30 days.

They once made more sense, and the reason they still exist is of course that some people use them for important things and they'd be in despair if they couldn't find them. I have maybe 10, on the belief that the omnibox dropdown will never forget bookmarks but it can forget things from my history.

In the end, often a combination of changes across specs, tests, and implementations are required. When collaboration is working well, it's a lot of fun to sort out obscure things like how newlines should be normalized, especially when web developers and users are affected by the lack of interop.

030

Philip Jägenstedt @foolip.org · 23/09/2026

I would take it one step further. I think that if two implementations agree on something, it's irresponsible to change it without first considering the shortest path to interop. "The spec says so" is not a good enough reason without that path.

230

Philip Jägenstedt @foolip.org · 23/09/2026

This is the best explanation of the interplay of specs, tests, and implementations that I've read. The point of both specs and tests is interoperable implementations, but that doesn't mean that implementations are always right when they agree.

This is a lovely post. I'm quite often asked if people from different browsers argue with each other in CSS meetings. I usually say it's a lot more "huh... yeah that's not good ... how do we fix it?" That's especially true when it comes to the sort of situations described here.

To get blurhash-like behavior, you'd request the lowest resolution preview to be used, but no intermediate steps between that and the fully decoded image.

000

Philip Jägenstedt @foolip.org · 23/09/2026

AVIF and JPEG XL support encoding a downscaled version of the image early in the file. More control over progressive rendering might be a valuable addition here. So, let CSS control whether a blurry or pixelated preview is used, and how many steps of progression to show at most.

Mostly it's just a weird feature, from the JS you can't tell if it's a mistake or if there's supposed to be an element with that ID. Also this lookup comes after other properties, so <div id=toolbar> doesn't work. And your ID might be shadowed by a future addition to Window.

010

Philip Jägenstedt @foolip.org · 22/09/2026

I'm saying I think that feature is a mistake, one of many warts on the web platform that we just have to live with.

Philip Jägenstedt @foolip.org · 21/09/2026

Which part, mainly? I think that window.setMePlease working is a mistake in the platform, but everything else seems sensible?

But we're not going to use hyphens for new attributes in HTML anyway, for consistency. That ship sailed in 1991 and only occasionally has a hyphenated exception appeared.

230

Philip Jägenstedt @foolip.org · 20/09/2026

Yeah, I think it'd fly in the end.

020

Philip Jägenstedt @foolip.org · 20/09/2026

So if we need another "namespace" like data-* or aria-* in the future, it just doesn't get a hyphen?

110

Philip Jägenstedt @foolip.org · 20/09/2026

What to do about the fact that some attributes already have hyphens in them? What custom attribute name can be used and guaranteed to not clash with native attributes?

110

Philip Jägenstedt @foolip.org · 19/09/2026

I have to say subclassing Attr makes me go 😱 since I think it's a mistake that Attr exists at all. But it's never going away, so why not build something good on top of that mistake?

I'm worried too! I think the platform itself is also at risk of being disintermediated. If user experiences are being generated with UI toolkits that have the web as one of several compile targets, then a slow migration to a new underlying platform becomes possible.

If you've ever tried using a new web API in TypeScript, you've probably hit this problem: An API exists. It works in your browser. But TypeScript has no types for it. The reason is a limitation that TS unfortunately applies to its built-in libs. BUT, I've created a relatively simple fix 👇

#CSS `progress()` is now baseline! 🥳 I was trying to see if this could be used as a workaround for the lack of typed arithmetic (unit division) in Firefox, and it does work, sort of. codepen.io/editor/maike... (And yes I know there's already the `tan2(atan())` trick, but that has its own bugs.)

I love that random() low-key kills the last reason I had to keep using Sass, along with a ton of JS layout/design use cases. Almost everything I had to use JavaScript and/or preprocessors for when I built my website a few years back will soon be possible in pure vanilla CSS.

To hide an element while it's being streamed, using CSS only: <div> <style>@scope { & { opacity: 0; } } }</style>  <style>@scope { & { opacity: 1; } } }</style> </div> (After I fix some blink bug I'll publish an alternative that doesn't leave footprint in the DOM)

❓Fun CSS trivia! What do you get if you use contrast-color() on an out of gamut color? 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 1. Chrome: uses the clipped color, so the result is at least legible 2. Safari/Firefox: uses the original, so the result is ILLEGIBLE ❌ 3. Firefox w/ gamut mapping enabled: uses the mapped color ✅
