Dear people who make websites,
Now that Safari 17.4 is available, what other new web technology — HTML, CSS, JS, Web API, media support, etc — would you like to see supported in Safari next?
What’s most needed?
What will you use it for?
Or how will it help your team serve your users?
Tell me a story…
@jensimmons The ability to use P3/wide gamut colours in SVGs in a way that isn’t hacky/buggy.
Currently the lack of support makes using wide gamut colours in designs a bit hard. (maybe it’s more of an SVG limitation than a browser issue, although if you do something like add a media query in the SVG to make it apply some wide gamut colours, it works but inconsistently, e.g. falling back to sRGB if it’s used as a background image that repeats… maybe because none of it is officially supported?)
@jensimmons p.s. here’s an example of how there’s a rendering inconsistency between iOS and macOS with that specific ‘wide gamut in SVGs’ situation:

(in iOS the colours are correct, in macOS it renders as sRGB if the background repeats – it may just be that this is a non-standard use, but it should render consistently across platforms)

But proper support for wide gamut colours in SVGs is the main issue I guess.
