Anti-frameworkism: Choosing native web APIs over frameworks - LogRocket Blog

Today's browsers can handle most of the problems that frontend frameworks were originally created to solve. Web Components provide encapsulation, ES modules manage dependencies, modern CSS features like Grid and container queries enable complex layouts, and the Fetch API covers network requests. Despite this, developers still default to React, Angular, Vue, or another JavaScript framework to address problems the browser already handles natively. That default often trades real user costs -page weight, performance, and SEO - for developer convenience.

Potentially Coming to a Browser :near() You | CSS-Tricks

By how much? Well, that would depend on the value of the <length> argument provided. Thomas Walichiewicz, who proposed :near(), suggests that it works like this: button:near(3rem) { /* Pointer is within 3rem of the button */ } For those wondering, yes, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to measure the straight-line distance between two elements using JavaScript ("Euclidean distance" is the mathematical term), so I imagine that's what would be used behind the scenes here.

Web dependencies are broken. Can we fix them? * Lea Verou

Dear JS ecosystem, I love you, but you have a dependency management problem when it comes to the Web, and the time has come for an intervention. No, this is not another rant about npm's security issues. Abstraction is the cornerstone of modern software engineering. Reusing logic and building higher-level solutions from lower-level building blocks is what makes all the technological wonders around us possible. Imagine if every time anyone wrote a calculator they also had to reinvent floating-point arithmetic and string encoding!

Performance-Optimized Video Embeds with Zero JavaScript

Every embedded video comes with a real cost to page load performance. Each player loads extra resources, whether the user ever hits play or not, as Chris Coyier noted in his blog post on "YouTube Embeds are Bananas Heavy and it's Fixable". The approach of using in that article works well when the video appears further down on the page and loads outside of the initial viewport. If the video is directly in the initial viewport, it can still cause a cumulative layout shift (CLS).

What's !important #4: Videos & View Transitions, Named Media Queries, How Browsers Work, and More | CSS-Tricks

Chris Coyier demonstrates how to maintain a video's state across different pages using CSS view transitions. He notes that this is fairly easy to do with same-page view transitions, but with multi-page view transitions you'll need to leverage JavaScript's pageswap event to save information about the video's state in sessionStorage as a JSON string (works with audio and iframes too), and then use that information to restore the state on pagereveal. Yes, there's a tiiiiny bit of audio stutter because we're technically faking it, but it's still super neat.
