Developer of sorts at @webdevs.firefox.com, but this is my personal account. No thought goes unpublished. He/him.
@jakearchibald.com PinnedThere's an ideal set of sizing constraints for custom <select>, but the CSS is a bit tricky.
Here's how to make it work, and a tour of new CSS features along the way.
@jakearchibald.comMy goal with the project is for that to happen less. I was sad custom select didn't get picked last year, but browsers worked on it anyway, soooooo ok.
@sarasoueidan.comReposted by @jakearchibald.comGoing through the Interop list of features interop-rank.fxdx.dev and selecting and ranking the ones I want to see across browsers in 2027.
I chose 15 features.
At the top of my list are #HTML #a11y features `focusgroup`, ariaNotify(), `headingoffset` and `headingreset`.
@sarasoueidan.comReposted by @jakearchibald.comI blogged about my picks for the Interop 2027 project: www.sarasoueidan.com/blog/interop...
inspired by @vale.rocks @pawelgrzybek.com @tylersticka.com @ohhelloana.blog and others who have blogged about their rankings.
@jakearchibald.comEh no it just means I haven't found the right way to signal it
@jakearchibald.comBasically, UI is hard
@jakearchibald.comIt just keeps on savin'. You can update it as much as you want until the deadline, which is some date in early November that I haven't figured out yet
@jakearchibald.comExactly! 💯
@jakearchibald.comI ignored it tbf, and so have many others 😁
@jakearchibald.comWe intend to share the individual rankings with the cross-browser Interop team for analysis, but without the associated Github data (ids, name, username, avatar URL).
@jakearchibald.comOh yeah it'll still be open then. I did look at other login methods, but didn't find anything particularly good. What login method would have worked better for you?
@jakearchibald.comWe'll close it sometime around 13th November, but early data is useful to us for Interop meetings & prep.
@jakearchibald.comI'm glad folks find it useful! I had the idea for it last year, but didn't have time to implement it.
@jakearchibald.comI'm really glad we're running this again. It helped us prioritise a lot of work this year. The previous method was 👍 on GitHub issues, which (imo) is too easily gamed, either intentionally or unintentionally.
@remysharp.comReposted by @jakearchibald.comFOMO over recent conferences? Or even from last year? Join us next month in Brighton for 2026.ffconf.org - join your peers, join the conversations you can't have with your chatbot, join us for 8 amazing talks and one superb day.
Get your ticket today, don't FOMO-FFCONF.
@ohhelloana.blogReposted by @jakearchibald.comMy personal brain wants some things but my work brain wants others.
So I was forced to blog about it:
@jakearchibald.comThat's fair. I guess I just want more people to have that experience, and to see those talks. But yeah, if I think about things like stand up comedy, I'd rather go to a bunch of smaller gigs than one stadium gig.
@webdevs.firefox.comReposted by @jakearchibald.comWhat do you want us to work on in 2027?
Here's a web app where you can rank the Interop proposals you care about, giving us data we can use to prioritise feature development.
@remysharp.comReposted by @jakearchibald.comAnd I wonder where you can see @cydstumpel.nl talk next 🤔 ::cough:: FFConf ::cough:: 🥳 (also heard great things about Dark Mode)
@jakearchibald.comJPEG XL decoding never landed in Chrome previously, so it never left. There was a version behind a flag a while back, but it wasn't good enough (eg no progressive rendering support).
@jakearchibald.comThis was such a fun conference, and all the talks were brilliant. Events like this should have 10x the audience.
