how incredibly difficult is it to find an iOS 27 screenshot of the default Home Screen.

I added an examples page to What PWA Can Do Today. If you have an example of a great PWA, please submit it and I will consider it for the listing. Link in the comments 👇

All aboard!

Es mil veces más bella mi tierra, con su plasma, su brisa y su sol.

We've (everyone) been asking for this for years. Hope it's real.

As a web designer or developer, what questions do you have about iPhone Duo?

Does the iPhone Duo support the Device Posture API?

Back then, the team set out to challenge the app distribution duopoly and make things a bit more open. Proud to have been part of it.

In the end, the journey is how we experience joy.

hit Claude's limit for the first time building an app. Learning how to optimize usage is key, but using the tool to infer data is part of some processes after all.

the fact that @proton.me has an app for GNU/Linux is great and shows proper commitment to open platforms. account.proton.me/u/0/mail/get... Love them every day more.

Bringing engineering back into the AI shenanigans is the way to go forward.

The week before Xmas, Jon and I sat down for a chat about what 2025 brought us. I used a new mic, which I won't use again! Audio and transcript: vivaldi.com/blog/for-a-b...

Firefox 147 just landed & it's pretty huge in terms of web features: 🎉 CSS anchor positioning 🎉 The navigation API 🎉 View transition types 🎉 Brotli support in Compression/DecompressionStream 🎉 CSS module imports And more! https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/147

A first look at the Web Install API brucelawson.co.uk/2025/a-first... I took this Microsoft-stewarded API for a test-drive. Thrills and spills, guaranteed!

Currently trying out the Web Install API (from the MS Edge team), and liking what I see. Write-up incoming. Nice work, @diekus.bsky.social et al. (Niggle: for a non-Edge user, finding the *beta* was hard. It kinda works on Chrome Canary but UI not hooked up yet). blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/20...

Creating a universal app store for PWAs seems like an obvious win here vs. heuristics triggered installs. But think about smaller, more bespoke app stores! An app store for your intranet apps. An app store for your webring of online mutuals. An app store for kid-friendly apps. That's fun territory.

The Web Install API is very promising and even enables web apps to install other web apps. Check the demo: whatpwacando.today/installation

It's happening. We're OTing Web Install and looking for as much feedback as we can. Feel free to get in touch and open issues and let us know what you think about this advanced capability. blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/20... www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmFY...

#JS folks, what have you needed JS class mixins/traits for? Especially interested in use cases outside of Web Components (I already have plenty around WC)

Here's a #CSS study list, 100+ features to checkout from the past ~5 years. There're surprises in here for even the most knowledgeable front-end developer! nerdy.dev/cascading-se...

Margin? Border? Padding? Content? 💅 The CSS box model is the foundation of layout, and MDN’s interactive exercises help you truly understand how it all fits together. 💡 Practice live in your browser developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/...

How the App Store Helped Kill My Startup, and Why That Should Matter to You mariabettina.substack.com/p/how-the-ap... "We had to create TikToks just to teach users how to save our web app to their home screen. And even that confused people, largely because Apple designed it to be confusing."

damn.

#CSS #Masonry layout is almost here, and we want your help and feedback to finish it! developer.chrome.com/blog/masonry...

Exciting news! The Web Install API dev trial is live! To find out more, aka.ms/webinstall With Web Install you'll be able to take control of the acquisition funnel for your web applications. We want to hear all your feedback once you try it! github.com/MicrosoftEdg...

Happy Unpacked day!

It’s the last day to take the State of CSS survey!!! survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey... If you write CSS, please do! The information has real impact. #css #webdev

If you would like to see everything that's wrong with frontend, all in one place, you can't do better than to take webpagetest.org for a spin and trace some AI chatbots.

If you want to learn more about Declarative Web Push or Web Push in general, my colleague Brady put out a great video: developer.apple.com/videos/play/...

Awesome to see this post on rethinking web permissions and the ongoing work on PEPC: developer.chrome.com/blog/rethink...

You also need the device posture API to do cool stuff with foldables. These two APIs work great together and can make your web sites shine and bend. 😜 developer.chrome.com/blog/foldabl...

And a very fun @primavera-sound.bsky.social in beautiful Barcelona to end a great week.

I'm not a UX designer, but I am sure macOS putting the Erase option next to the Eject one is probably not the best idea.

Tomorrow is W3C Breakouts Day - We'll be be leading a discussion about collective funding, governance and prioritization of web engine projects... You can join online. www.w3.org/events/meeti...

how is the copy dialog still from... Windows 7?!

HTML event handlers are those onxxx attributes and properties many of us are used to, but do you know how they actually work? If you're writing custom elements and would like them to have such event handlers, what would you have to do? #webdev #html #javascript #webcomponents

Just noticed using my laptop that Edge provides a way to upload (open) content from a mobile phone. This makes so much sense! 😀

"Sticky activation (or 'sticky user activation') is a window state that indicates a user has pressed a button, moved a mouse, used a menu, or performed some other user interaction." Don't you dare sticky activate me.

console.log('Hola, mundo!');
