We just proposed two topics for @w3c breakouts day:

1. "Vectors of neglect" - @Meyerweb will lead a discussion about why the platform seems to have trouble getting investment in SVG

https://github.com/w3c/breakouts-day-2025/issues/12

2. "Collective funding, governance and prioritization of a browser engine projects" - I (and @seaotta) will lead a discussion about some issues facing the platform and efforts toward more collective ownership (and new challenges it introduces)

https://github.com/w3c/breakouts-day-2025/issues/11

Great statement at #blinkon by @cdub

"Chrome is the 4th browser I've worked on. They've all had majority market share. 2 of them don't even exist anymore. The web platform remains. It outlives browsers, engines, companies even."

Medien: 1

Proud of this...

New post: Micropayments History🪙

Hey, remember that period when there were a ton of online 'coins' that people are trying to make happen & big companies got involved & even talked about standardizing? Do you remember that time... in the mid to late 90s?

I participate in a bunch of standards related efforts where we use all kinds of ways to minute/etc and I have to say that the @w3c IRC method/bots that the @csswg uses are still the very best way...

Enjoyed the hell out of @mia's recent talk. 👏

Did you know that in terms of sorting, the letter 'ö' is treated as a modified 'o' in French, but as a letter completely independent from 'o' (and sorting after 'z') in Swedish?

You can learn this and tons of other random facts about text in "The Character Model for the World Wide Web"
