Rego’s Everyday Life

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.

::marker pseudo-element intent-to-ship has been approved, it’ll be enabled by default in Chromium 86. Amazing job by Oriol Brufau from Igalia! Kudos to Rune Lillesveen and Koji Ishii for the great reviews. And thanks to Bloomberg for sponsoring the development.

Excited to join the Blink API owners representing @igalia, thanks for accepting me. 😀

Really bad to have to post this announcement today. This year hackfest was looking great, a bunch of awesome folks had registered already and we were moving to a new amazing venue… 🙁 Looking forward for the next edition (whenever it happens).
