Rego’s Everyday Life

Oriol Brufau form Igalia has just published a technical blog post explaining the implementation of ::marker pseudo-element in Chromium: https://blogs.igalia.com/obrufau/2020/12/21/css-marker-pseudo-element-in-chromium.html

Despite it might look like a small feature, it ended up being quite a project. Kudos for the awesome job there! 👏

If you want to see :focus-visible in WebKit, Igalia is collecting funds to make it happen at https://opencollective.com/open-prioritization/projects/focus-visible-in-webkit

This has been the winner of our Open Prioritization campaign, and if everything goes fine this would be ready during Q1 2021.

“Intent to Prototype: Container Queries”, @google is starting to experiment with container queries in @ChromiumDev. This is really interesting! 🤯

Really nice to see this finally shipping in Chromium and WebKit. 🚀 All this started back in 2018 when Oriol was doing a Coding Experience at Igalia: https://blogs.igalia.com/mrego/2018/08/08/css-logical-properties-and-values-in-chromium/

Playing with Lithium today (https://github.com/MozillaSecurity/lithium). A really amazing tool to reduce test cases automatically. 🤯

Support for flexbox gutters in WebKit has just landed https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/267829/webkit! 🎉

More about that and other flexbox improvements done by Sergio Villar from Igalia on his last blog post: https://blogs.igalia.com/svillar/2020/10/01/closing-the-gap-in-flexbox/

Have you noticed a change on how subpixel borders are rendered in Chromium 85? Now they’re floored instead of rounded like in Firefox and WebKit.

The improvement is specially noticeable when you have a scrollbar. Let’s hope it doesn’t cause any regression. 🤞

I found this while working on some “outline” issues, as outlines were floored while borders were rounded. And then realized about the interop problem and decided to try to fix it: chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/d1b0fc8e45dcbe00e9060a3dba87c398425ae178

Some CSS Logical Properties are coming to Chromium thanks to Oriol Brufau from Igalia (intent-to-ship has been just approveda https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/E7f_WZOcTgQ/m/pbudXZNaAAAJ). 🎉

Really nice presentation on the Chromium rendering-core meeting about ::marker implementation by Oriol Brufau from Igalia. The slides are available at https://people.igalia.com/obrufau/slides/2020-07-rendering/

TIL a cool way to style footnotes with ::marker.
