Y'know, I thought the MediaRecorder API was pretty new. But Firefox launched it in 2014 and Chrome followed up in 2016. It's very cool though and it didn't stop me writing about it this week though.
I'm also excited that the web is getting a contacts API. This is one of those things that native apps can do and web apps can't, but this time built with the security model of the web (so apps can't just upload all your contacts without you knowing).
Also on the "well, native can do it" front, the native file system API is also going to expand the potential for web applications.
It's pronounced Diane. I do data architecture, operations, and backend development. In my spare time I maintain Massive.js, a data mapper for Node.js and PostgreSQL.
I've been looking for reaons to get in trouble with Promise.allSettled(). It'll make a good handful of use cases more UX friendly for me. I've got a couple posts about it, this is the first ๐
Junior developer, mostly web. I work with Java, Spring, Javascript, React, CSS and a little Rust on the side. Webdev is my preferred domain and I'm interested in technologies that push it forward.
Web Share and Web Share Target would be awesome to have across all browsers! That's a major part of the PWA experience that's still missing. On mobile, where share interactions are built into the OS, PWA's obviously missing out. And a nice side benefit is that it would remove the need for annoying site-specific share buttons on every site.

That's awesome to hear, but the API is only supported by Chrome right now. I use Firefox so it's not available for me. Still a win for progressive enhancement!
Web Share is actually supported in Safari (iOS and desktop) as well as Chrome on Android. It is definitely more relevant for mobile usage, but as the web share target and installable PWAs come to desktop I'd like to see it in all the browsers.
Ive been following this too, a little. The largest issues I have seen, is that manufacturers of bluetooth devices seemingly create their own specification for interfacing and most of the time dont provide documentation.
Solutions to this have been sniffing the traffic, but if you can sniff the traffic and figure out the API interface from this, then it is also likely insecure.
Coding is as much a matter of personal growth as it is of logic and control-flow. I keep patience, curiosity, & exuberance in the same toolbox as vim and git.
*Opinions posted are my own*
Constructable Style Sheets and ShadowRoot#adoptedStyleSheets, as well as something like CSS modules will let us write shadow styles in CSS without a build step.
that last proposal was in danger of stalling, so if you have something productive to add to the discussion, get over there.
Built-in Modules for Javascript! Something that imo that should've come at the same time all in one go with the introduction of script[type=module] but what can you do?

I'm waiting to see just how badly the imminent webRequest limits on adblockers in Chromium affect security and the browsing experience.

As I've been loving RxJS for a while now, I'm keeping an eye very close to the Observables proposal --> github.com/tc39/proposal-observable

Yes! We need Safari to support share targets.
Have you noticed that DEV uses the Web Share API though? ๐

And yeah, it's all about the progressive enhancement! That's why I wrote a web component to progressively enhance share buttons with the web share API.
