In Firefox 147, you no longer need heavy libraries to (de)compress brotli with JS - you can just use CompressionStream and DecompressionStream!

@firefoxwebdevs can we do away with videos and simply include longer text/description? =,=
@wojtek a lot of folks are enjoying the videos. For those that don't, I've included a link to the docs.

@jaffathecake maybe put the videos on peertube so one could choose to follow videos explicitly? :)

"a lot of folks are enjoying the videos" - is the data publically available? :)

@jaffathecake so, that's one. I posted one counter ;-)
@wojtek I think the problem here is, no matter how many I provide, you'll say it's not enough.
@jaffathecake the problem here is that you don't have solid data to back the claim that it's a preferred format…
@firefoxwebdevs thanks for this: it taught me a few tricks about working with streams, pretty timely too - so I wrote it up for (my own) future reference: https://prepitaph.org/snippets/text-compression/

An ill-advised return to the rabbit hole of personal web apps and client-side secrets left me with a series of usability challenges. Naturally, those could only be addressed by fumbling with byte streams.

@FND nice! Although, you don't need to go via a blob, you can get a byte array directly https://gist.github.com/jakearchibald/ae167aaec8bfa7272db2a6a00552e4b5
