You're looking for something that's readable but more efficient and smaller than #JSON or #YAML?
Structure data with #ASCII control codes like people did in 1963!

https://trans.github.io/c0data/

There's also a library in @CrystalLanguage available.

@bitboxer I actually use it to find a channelog file :)
But yah, some projects don’t have one and hide stuff in GH releases which sucks.
My hope was, that mend has such a product since they already doing all the scanning work.

Sorry, not the informed suggestion you were looking for.

@bitboxer rubygems integrates mend.io for diffing releases.
Maybe it’s worth a look

I saw yet another “CSS is a massively bloated mess” whine and I’m like. My dude. My brother in Chromium. It is trying as hard as it can to express the totality of visual presentation and layout design and typography and animation and digital interactivity and a few other things in a human-readable text format. It’s not bloated, it’s fantastically ambitious. Its reach is greater than most of us can hope to grasp. Put some *respect* on its *name*.

@eljojo I would love to have a plugin or profile that puts me into “2006 Safari feature set” or whatever. It’s a bit tedious to lookup every single function call on CanIuse :)

Hey frontend focused developer people. How do you deal with testing support for very old browsers?
I *need* to support certain functions on your uncles G4 iMac.
Is there a convenient way to restrict my browser to an older feature set?
