marinaaisa.comCross-dressing is the fantasy of the possible, and war is the opposite — Marina AísaWhy you should watch La Bola Negra at the cinema: a deeply queer, anti-war film about identity, rejection and intergenerational trauma in Spain.

“Cross-dressing is the fantasy of the possible, and war is the opposite” This line comes from La Bola Negra. I wrote about why you need to watch it at the cinema, following its US release. I watched it couple of weeks ago in Spain and I can’t stop thinking about it 💔 marinaaisa.com/blog/persona...

and I thought: "What is the point of a personal website anymore?" anyways 🤷‍♀️ so I wrote a new article about it: marinaaisa.com/blog/the-poi... Hopefully this inspire you to do the same or maybe not! 🤖

📢 I'm officially looking for a new job. You hiring? Full time, remote from Spain, paid via EOR, IC, TypeScript, no crypto, support for 3-4 conference speaking gigs/year. Share plz. 🙏 DMs open.

Today I visited Zhangjiajie in Hunan, China! 🇨🇳 Maybe the most impressive natural park I’ve ever seen. 🤯 Also, I’m officially obsessed with jasmine tea lattes now. 🐉

My final stop was Shanghai. It’s full with culture, food, temples, art galleries and endless shops. It's super clean and there is barely no pollution, all the cars are electric. It wasn't like this few years ago, the city has improved a lot. Shanghai is my new favourite city. I was so impressed 💥

If you hold a passport with eligible 30-day visa-free entry to China, I recommend you going before it ends by the EOY (Dec 31, 2026). After travelling across the world, visiting China has been the most inspiring, futuristic and fascinating trip of my life. Can't recommend it enough. 🤯

One night in the impressive megacity of Chongqing 🤯🇨🇳🐉 More than 30 million people live here! I can’t believe I didn’t even know this city existed before @joyeecheung.bsky.social told me about it! I’m absolutely blown away 🤩

After Chongqing, I spent two days in Xi’an. The temples and history there are fantastic but the Terracotta Warriors at the Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum were truly mind-blowing. 🤯🤩

Before Zhangjiajie, I went to Chengdu (Sichuan), which I loved too. Such a nice city, with historic buildings and modern architecture all mixed together. Very recommended! I also loved the Dan Dan Noodles and their love for pandas 🐼🌶️ Next stop: Chongqing! 🤖

New profile picture. 🐚 How I posed for the picture vs how I really felt inside 🫠 after walking 26km in the Camino de Santiago (French Way). Stage 31: Palas de Rei -> Arzúa www.pilgrim.es/en/french-wa...

Today we walked 20km in the Stage 32: Arzúa -> O Pedrouzo www.pilgrim.es/en/french-wa... and tomorrow we will arrive to Santiago. 🤩 Can't wait, it's always so exciting.

20 June

Previous years, I walked alone the English Way: Stages 1 to 5 (completed ✅ since it's the shortest) and the Portuguese Way: Stages 21 to 25. El Camino de Santiago is the best cultural, nature and sport experience you can have in Europe. I’m a big fan so feel free to ask me anything about it! 🚶‍♀️

This week I'm in A Coruña, Galicia, attending the @webengineshackfest.org 👩‍💻 where we are discussing the future of web engines and standards. Given the potential impact on future web development, I thought it would be helpful to share some of my personal notes from the event. ✍️👇

👉 Proposal to introduce HTML elements designed to natively support menus on the web: open-ui.org/components/m... 👉 Proposal to standardise the methods used to insert HTML into a web page by creating a consistent set of new commands (setHTML, appendHTML, and streamHTML) github.com/WICG/declara...

18 June

And that’s a wrap! 🎉 I had an amazing time in A Coruña, met so many talented people from all over the world, had fantastic conversations and enjoyed the best food 🐙 A huge thank you to @igalia.com for putting together such a great event and making everyone feel so welcome. See you next year! 🤗

👉 SPAs have been relying on the History API. The History API was never designed for complex SPAs, leading to workarounds in routers. 🗺️ Navigation API intercept and manage routing before the browser acts, giving full access to the document history entries developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

👉 Andreas Farre showed a demo comparing the History API and Navigation API farre.github.io/navigation-q.... 🎥 This video shows how difficult navigation is on browsers (with the History API): www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6lv... 🫠

What is the difference between FedCM and Passkeys? 👉 Passkeys are direct 1st-party credentials, while FedCM manages 3rd-party federated logins (e.g. "Sign in with Google"). 👉 They complement each other: FedCM eliminates the need for sign-up forms while Passkeys offer highly secure accounts.

🗣️ Spell Check Custom Dictionary API is a proposal allowing developers to provide custom dictionaries for HTML spell checking github.com/Igalia/expla... 👉 Despite limitations with conjugated languages, the group agreed it is a practical "first step" since native dictionaries have the same limitation.

🤔 I proposed creating a web standard to enable keyboard navigation in browsers using WAI-ARIA landmarks, similar to how screen readers work 👀 There is a proposal for HTML focusgroup attribute that could help: github.com/whatwg/html/... 👀 There is an extension for it: matatk.agrip.org.uk/landmarks/

👉 FedCM is a standard for identity providers. 👉 Registration API proposal allows to ask for compatible registered IdPs, expanding your options github.com/w3c-fedid/id... 👉 Email Verification API proposal allows to ask the browser for proof that you own an email address wicg.github.io/email-verifi...

⏱️ Day 2 (after the talks) We practised our monkey skills in a local climbing wall in A Coruña (amimontanismo.es/)) 💯🐒 @danielroe.dev showed us his superpowers 🧗‍♀️

⏱️ Day 3 👉 We discussed how can browsers can help to improve web accessibility 🤔 Ideas: user preferences for autoplay and contrast, keyboard nav for tooltips... 🤔 @danielroe.dev suggested browsers to share information with framework developer tools to help identify accessibility vulnerabilities ➕
