I'm thrilled to share that Google has extended my @googledevexpert membership for another year! 🎖️ Being a GDE since 2019, it has been an incredible journey contributing to the community in the categories of Web Technologies (AI for Web Developers, Progressive Web Apps, and Project Fugu) and Angular. Let's continue to push the boundaries of the Web together! 🚀 #GDE #WebAI #AI #Angular #PWA #ProjectFugu
What a journey! 🥳 It’s been 6️⃣ years since I was accepted into the GDE program. It all began with my engagement in Angular, Progressive Web Apps, and Project Fugu. With the rise of Generative AI, I have focused on making web apps smarter. #GDEgiftfromGoogle #GDE #Angular #PWA #ProjectFugu #WebAI

There's a new origin trial 🧪 in Chrome for the File System Observer API 🗃️👀: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/file-system-observer?hl=en. Rather than poll for file system changes, you'll now get notified. This unlocks use cases like Web-based IDEs and more. Read my article for all details! #ProjectFugu 🐡

👀 Interesting, Edge launched a new Web Platform top developer needs dashboard. The actual dashboard is at https://microsoftedge.github.io/TopDeveloperNeeds and @slightlyoff wrote about the Edge team's motivations for launching it at https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2024/04/18/2024-web-platform-top-developer-needs-dashboard/. I left a question asking about #ProjectFugu 🐡 APIs on this dashboard: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/issues/791. Edge also collaborates in #Interop24.
