Getting Started With the Popover API, by @smashingmag:
https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2026/03/getting-started-popover-api/
What happens if you rebuild a single tooltip using the browser’s native model without the aid of a library? The Popover API turns tooltips from something you simulate into something the browser actually understands. Opening and closing, keyboard interaction, Escape handling, and much of the accessibility now come from the platform itself, not from ad-hoc JavaScript.

Temporal · The 9-year journey to fix time in JavaScript https://ilo.im/16bbdn

JavaScript's Date object has been a source of bugs for three decades. Temporal, which just reached Stage 4, is a modern replacement with immutable types, first-class time zone and calendar support, and nanosecond precision. This is the story of how Bloomberg, Igalia, and the TC39 community spent nine years turning an idea into a shipping standard.
"In a previous post on agent experience (AX), we wrote that “Artificial intelligence tools are bad at inferring context or reading between the lines,” and that “content designed for consumption by AI should look less like a blog post and more like a legal contract. Great agent experience is all about being as clear and predictable as possible.”
Where possible, we need to eliminate assumptions that only make sense to human readers. LLMs aren’t as forgiving of undocumented constraints, inconsistencies, or vague descriptions as a human reader might be. If you’re struggling with that, we can lean on AI tools — it makes sense that AI would know what AI likes, right? — for identifying some of these gaps.
When we covered AI assistants for API developers, for example, we identified LintGPT as a useful tool for its ability to automate the creation of an API style guide, enforce specification standards, and even catch breaking changes before deployment.
API specifications are no longer just documentation. They’re living contracts with machines, which increasingly have the power to read and interact with said contracts. Improving clarity, consistency, and precision might create a few initial headaches, but it opens the door to smarter tooling, faster iteration, and APIs taking pride of place in an increasingly AI-driven ecosystem."

Introducing CSS ‘view-transitions-mock’ · A non-visual polyfill for same-document view transitions https://ilo.im/16bak0

#ModernCSS #ViewTransitions #Polyfill #APIs #Browsers #WebDev #Frontend #CSS #JavaScript
View Transitions are a powerful Modern Web feature allow for smooth seamless animated transitions two between different states of a web page. They can make for a much more pleasant user experience, but as with any new web platform feature, browser support is not yet fully universal so you need to add some fallback logic to your code.view-transitions-mock bridges that gap by polyfilling the full JavaScript API surface of Same-Document View Transitions, without the animation bits.
