iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

José Dapena Paz @jdapena.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I was so lucky to start this project with people I admire so much... and even luckier with all who joined after. A kind of experiment still running today. A safe place where effort and talent are used to make the world a better place. I can proudly say: 25 years ago we were creating Igalia.

💡Fantastic work with a challenging environment! No JIT, no multiprocess, no system web engine. What it means to run #Chromium in tvOS.

The charts! Igalia still a huge contributor, second only to Microsoft. Congratulations MS though, way to step it up these last few years!

An even bigger slice to igalia specifically in Chromium

Igalia has 13% of non google commits across chromium repositories, second only to ms who now has a third!

Smarter Chromium GN in Vim with gn-language-server

GN Language Server for Chromium development was announced on chromium-dev. It’s very easy to install in VSCode, NeoVim or Emacs. But how can we configure it with classic Vim + YCM?

José Dapena Paz @jdapena.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

How do you measure when a component is “ready”? ⏱️ LCP is too global; Element Timing is too specific. 🛠️ I’ve been working with Bloomberg on a new #webperf API: Container Timing. Think of it as “LCP for a web component”, providing aggregated paint timing for a subtree.
