I'm so excited by the renewed interest in web development sparked by Wordle! It's a simple, fun game that highlights the power of the web. It's accessible, fast, user-friendly, and has inspired countless developers to create their own versions and variations. This post celebrates Wordle's impact, lists various Wordle-inspired projects (including different language versions, framework implementations, and even tools), and encourages readers to share their own discoveries.| Modern Web Development with Chrome
Custom URL schemes can enhance web app functionality by handling specific URLs, but detecting scheme support is tricky. Several methods exist, including click handlers, navigation handlers (Blink), and server-side redirects with meta refresh. While the server-side approach offers the most robust solution, it introduces complexity. A key challenge is the limited user understanding of custom schemes, leading to a preference for standard HTTPS URLs. This post explores a common pattern for custom...| Modern Web Development with Chrome
I've added a new feature to time-to-stable that lists experimental APIs across browsers using BCD. This helps developers track experimental APIs, understand their stability, and consider the implications for website integration. It helps answer questions about cross-browser compatibility and potential deprecation, informing decisions about using these APIs.| Modern Web Development with Chrome
I built a web app using Deno, Fresh, and TensorFlowJS to classify images as links or buttons. The app uses a pre-trained ML model and allows users to drag and drop multiple images for classification. I encountered challenges with server-side rendering and islands, specifically with integrating a file-drop web component. I also documented the process of integrating the TensorFlowJS model, including model loading and prediction handling. The code is available on GitHub.| Modern Web Development with Chrome
In this project, I'm working on an accessibility tool to detect links styled as buttons, a common issue that can confuse users. My approach involves scraping websites to gather images of buttons and links, and then training a machine learning model to distinguish between them. This post focuses on the scraping process using Puppeteer. I encountered challenges like occluded elements and smooth scrolling, which I addressed by checking for occlusion and disabling smooth scrolling. The next step ...| paul.kinlan.me
I've created a tool called "Now Stable" using Browser Compat Data (BCD) to help developers determine when web APIs become stable across different browsers. This addresses the challenge of keeping up with browser updates and helps developers confidently choose APIs for their projects. The tool allows users to select their target browsers (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox) and see a chronological list of when APIs became available across those browsers. I'm looking for feedback on how this tool ca...| Modern Web Development with Chrome
I added ActivityPub support to my static Hugo blog hosted on Vercel. It now automatically announces new posts to followers on the Fediverse. Key challenges included implementing the ActivityPub protocol for a static site, handling WebFinger discovery, managing Follow/Unfollow requests, and sending signed HTTP requests. I used Vercel Serverless Functions for dynamic request handling and Firebase Firestore for storing follower data. Check out the code and follow me @paul@paul.kinlan.me to see i...| Modern Web Development with Chrome
