It's National Anonymous Giving Week and so we wanted to highlight W3C's Sylvia Cadena's, interview about W3C by .auDA:

"I encourage you to enhance your understanding of technical issues that affect billions of people worldwide, and to find a way to support those in your community that are interested or are already participating in the development of open standards"

React-Like JSX Syntax for Webcomponents

TLDR: I’ve been #experimenting with react-like jsx-syntax with webcomponents to see if I could theoretically replace #React in one of my larger #software projects. It is not ready for production use, but rather a #Research exploration into #CustomElements and #ModernJS performance.

The goal was to build #FunctionalWebComponents that handle #StateManagement and #DOM updates without the overhead of a massive #JavaScript framework. By leveraging #StandardWebAPIs and #Proxy objects, I’ve managed to create a #Reactive programming model that feels familiar but stays closer to the #Platform.

Check out the full #TechnicalTutorial and #DeepDive here: https://positive-intentions.com/docs/research/Tutorials/dim/dim-functional-webcomponents

#Safari drives me crazy when it comes to #CSS subgrids. Safari does not apply the subgrid spacing correctly. It recognizes the entire #subgrid span correctly, but the missing spacing causes the subgrid to collapse.

I don't understand how such a giant corporation, with so many users and a corresponding market share, fails to implement web standards properly. I feel like Safari is the new Internet Explorer.

The JSON-LD Working Group published today a First Public Working Draft of YAML-LD 1.0. [JSON-LD11] is a JSON-based format to serialize Linked Data. In recent years, [YAML] has emerged as a more concise format to represent information that had previously been serialized as [JSON], including API specifications, data schemas, and Linked Data.

Me to a major NZ software house, 2010: “Coding for only Internet Explorer is short-sighted. You need to code to industry web standards, not a particular browser - let people choose a browser that best suits their needs, which supports those standards.”

Me to the same software house, 2026: “Coding for only Google Chrome is short-sighted. You need to code to industry web standards, not a particular browser - let people choose a browser that best suits their needs, which supports those standards.”

The CSS Working Group has published CSS Snapshot 2026 as a W3C Group Note. This document collects together into one definition all the specs that together form the current state of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) as of 2026.

CSS is a language for describing the rendering of structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, etc.
