A reminder that web frontend work isn't as easy as it sounds. It brings quite some caveats and his difficult to do well. Otherwise you wonder why things stutter or render badly.

Finally a sensible approach to communicate license compliance for client side content delivered via a browser. It's not too much of a bother so let's hope it gets picked up.

A very uplifting essay in my opinion. Starts with a historical perspective on the webmaster role to then evolve into a manifesto about creation on the web.

This campaign is definitely worth a try. Hammering people with cookie banners exhibiting dark patterns isn't exactly a good way to seek people consent.

Curious about WebGPU? This looks like it'll become a very good resource for that.

This is very comprehensive! It is also overwhelming... So many things to think about when making a website nowadays.

A neat and simple explanation of what CORS is and which security issues it helps with.

I wish more teams would have this kind of thinking an really carry it to its logical conclusion. In most case you don't need an SPA framework.

The web scraper situation isn't getting better... How long can the open web still hold?

There are ways to have a lighter web. It leads to interesting techniques too.

Several times I bump into articles praising this one. I've been test driving it a bit, the experience is still a bit bare but it's clearly maturing. Definitely an option to keep an eye on in my opinion.

Designing APIs for the Web platform is hard and error-prone. This is why it carries baggage, here is a good example.

I like this idea. It'd be nice if more websites felt like little town squares.

Indeed the trend wasn't new. It's "just" the icing on the cake from the enclosure point of view.

I guess it's time we realise Google doesn't send much traffic on the open web / small web / indie web (call it as you please) and so there's no need to let them harvest.

Indeed, there's no reason to not use .well-known for newer standard files.

This is a good point, unlike what some claims the Internet isn't dying. The commercial crap on top is thinning out and is getting filled with crap indeed. Still, what made the Internet and the Web are still here for people to use.

This piece is strongly worded but the logic is sound. We see many examples of power plays in guise of "innovation" which lead to killing openly sharing (and so killing real innovation). It's urgent to fight back and ensure things stay open.

So many requests based on vanity and hype... I like the question "when you go to other websites do you use it?", we should use it more. Maybe at some point we'll realise that simplicity matters.

This could be a piece full of nostalgia. There is a bit of nostalgia of course, but it's also a path to use what we got in a more valuable and humane way.
