New bookmarklet 🔖:

// Name this so it's quick to autocomplete  
// in the URL bar, like "Paywall be gone".  
javascript:(function(){window.open('<https://archive.today/'+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)>);})();  

Thanks, @paul for documenting how to use bookmarklets on Android Chrome: https://paul.kinlan.me/use-bookmarklets-on-chrome-on-android/.

Dipped a toe into a standards discussion and I remain convinced that it's not a world for me.

I wish we lived in a world where standards work was done by a wide, diverse, and open community rather than exactly the sort of technologist who loves to bikeshed.

It's such important work, and uniquely creates opportunities for amazing large-scale cooperation to happen. Too often, though, it's a place for insecure people to build little fiefdoms. 😢

WebGPU continues to evolve with new capabilities in Chrome 125. The article highlights two notable additions - subgroups for more efficient development of complex scenes, and rendering to a slice of a 3D texture for efficient re-use of texture memory. As WebGPU matures, it unlocks more advanced graphics and computation scenarios on the web. I'm excited to see developers leverage these capabilities to build immersive, high-performance web apps.

As a rough estimate, how often do you navigate to a website or individual page by directly typing its URL (including browser URL bar autocomplete)?

I'm so happyyyyyyyyy!!!

A profile photo of the cargo e-bike taken in front of a wide part of Hamburg's canals or maybe the north of the Außenalster. It's a long tail, big wheel at the front, chunky basket, two seats on the back behind the saddle with a foot rest, padding and guard rails.

The popover API lands in Baseline

Exciting update for web developers - the popover API has landed in all modern browser engines. This will allow developers to more easily create contextual overlays on their sites. I'm looking forward to seeing the creative ways devs leverage this new capability to enhance user experiences.
