Technical talks from #GoogleIO have dropped. Here's my talk on how we are making it easier to build for the web. youtube.com/watch?v=fGlhRn…

Some personal, rather than Chrome team, thoughts on why I think defining masonry as part of CSS grid would be a mistake. It's about teaching and good defaults. rachelandrew.co.uk/archives/2024/…

This post explains the differences between creating a masonry layout with display: masonry and with display: grid. Take a look, and if you have an opinion one way or the other, let us know! #CSS developer.chrome.com/blog/masonry-s…

We were going to give EventTarget an `on()` method that returns an Observable for events — e.g., button.on('click'). But for compatibility reasons, we need a different method name! Which do you prefer? Some top contenders below. See github.com/WICG/observabl… for more.

I recorded a podcast interview for The Work Item, a podcast about career journeys. The conversation went everywhere: covering my unlikely journey into tech, not having a tech degree, the importance of writing and good docs, and much more. theworkitem.com/blog/write-abo…

There's been a lot of discussion about masonry in CSS recently and whether it lives in the grid spec. This post explains a different approach, that still enables the track sizing and other features from grid. developer.chrome.com/blog/masonry

align-content for block and table layout is in Chrome 123 (beta). If you've used align-content outside of flex and grid, as it didn't do anything due to lack of implementations, check your site for strange alignment. developer.chrome.com/blog/align-con… #css

Strong agree with @mozilla. @Apple isn’t serious about supporting web browser or engine choice on iOS. Their strategy is overly restrictive, and won’t meaningfully lead to real choice for browser developers.

Subgrid! And I think the possibilities for layout that we get with container queries + :has() + subgrid are incredibly exciting.

@HeathrowAirport This wasn't boarding, this was ground staff. We were deplaned into a completely locked corridor and trapped there until we flagged down some people working in an adjacent corridor and they let us out.

@rachelandrew Good morning Rachel, we are so sorry to hear this. Please contact your airline directly for assistance with boarding. You can find their contact details here: heathrow.com/airline-contac…

@HeathrowAirport you've got people stuck in a corridor at terminal 3 who are going to miss flights because someone failed to open a door. Pax from BA885.
