This proposal is exactly what I was asking for!
C’mon browsers, let’s make this happen!
Jen pointed me to this proposal, which should help smooth over some of the inconsistencies I documented in iOS when it comes to the Web Audio API.
I’ve preemptively add this bit of feature detection to The Session:
if ('audioSession' in navigator) {
navigator.audioSession.type = "playback";
}
I’m very excited about this proposal for animating transitions between web pages!
I’m less excited about doing it for single page apps, but I get why it’s the simplest place to start.
This builds on Jake’s earlier proposal which I always thought was excellent and much needed. I’m not the only one. Chris agrees.
This is an interesting looking proposal for CSS grid to be ever so slightly extended to enable Masonry-style auto placement—something’s that tantalisingly close right now, but still requires some JavaScript to do calculations.
An interesting proposal to allow websites to detect certain SMS messages. The UX implications are fascinating.
Following on from that proposal for a browser feature that I linked to yesterday, Tim thinks through all the permutations and possibilities of user agents allowing users to throttle resources:
If a limit does get enforced (it’s important to remember this is still a big if right now), as long as it’s handled with care I can see it being an excellent thing for the web that prioritizes users, while still giving developers the ability to take control of the situation themselves.
Safari-installed web apps are now broken.
You can launch web apps as standalone apps on Mac now.
Enhance your website, progressively.
