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 Would be great if we didn't have to apply the transform hack for weird Safari bugs all the time ;)

@amber @jensimmons I am curious about which transform hack you’re referring to. Could you elaborate?

@smfr @jensimmons many times in Safari and no other browser, something will be "invisible" for no good reason and won't show unless you use transform: translate3d(0,0,0); (not a z-index issue either)

@amber @jensimmons I’d love to see an example if you have one

@smfr @jensimmons i dont off the top of my head, but it's a super common bug, you can prob find a bunch of stackoverflows about it

@amber @jensimmons I can find a lot of older posts on SO, but nothing recent, and we've fixed many issues. Let me know if you run into anything with recent Safari versions.

@smfr @jensimmons ack i just fixed one last week, it seems to be any time we're using any sort of transforms in the layers, but ill try to remember to share it with you the next time we come across

@smfr @jensimmons ok FOUND one! Sticky header that's only visible on scroll up was causing this weirdo bug in Safari, fixed with the transform translate3D fix

@amber @jensimmons Cool! Is this on a public page?

@smfr @jensimmons unfortunately no, we're launching this super quick so i had to fix it, but the *next* one i'll try to leave up for you - just wanted to show you an example
