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=fGlhRnp5…
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/…
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

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/observable/i… for more.
22%button.when('click')
8%button.upon('click')
65%button.observe('click')

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-a…
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/ma…
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/al… #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.
