Barbecue, D&D, and UI. This episode is packed with my favourite things. But one thing I'm extremely happy about is that @ShopTalkShow talked about <rangegroup> from #OpenUI. Thank you for the nice words as well! Let's make this happen.

Been going back and forth with @Google support for my phone that was under so called extended warranty for a pink line... One month since it started, no decent answers, phone travelled to Poland 2 times and returned... I really expected better 😔

If you thought we were done with View Transitions, guess again! Chrome is working on “Scoped View Transitions” which allow you to scope a VT to a subtree of the DOM. This unlocks things like concurrent VTs and prevents layering issues. Thread on 🦋: https://t.co/io0D4LuBqB
