@torgo All the best for the next step and thanks for all the work you have dedicated to the Web while at Samsung. 🎈

robknight_ I’ve been working on fast and lightweight browser OCR. robertknight.github.io/tesseract-wasm/ is a new WebAssembly build of the Tesseract OCR engine. It uses WebAssembly SIMD in Chrome and Firefox for a ~2x performance boost. There is no multi-threading yet, but that would also help.

@mathias I don’t find the repo, else I’d have made a PR:

Off-by-one error or bad pointer? 😂 What a lovely anecdote.

@kennethrohde @rem Correct, the justification being that developers already can play an invisible video on the page, which results in a (media) wake lock. The Screen Wake Lock API is just the proper way to obtain the same behavior. 🚫💤

Insertable streams (https://t.co/5D5Wm1d2H0) and WebCodecs (https://t.co/30QFLDpMBl) for the win! 💏 Neat Web app that simulates the blurring of portrait video that you often see on (widescreen landscape) TV when they feature user-generated content in t

@mathias @jensimmons +1, RegExp forms the basis of so many things, so having full support universally would be fantastic!

@meyerweb @webhackfest Just standing on the shoulders of the potrace giant compiled to Wasm and exposing it with a (hopefully) decent GUI. Thanks for the kind words, though. 😊

@briankardell 😊 Happy someone noticed. There indeed goes (by force) a lot of thinking into the PE story with almost all Project Fugu 🐡 APIs.

@jensimmons A more integrated way to debug service workers. Right now it’s yet another window, and you can’t inspect the cache easily. Look@FirefoxDevToolsools@ChromeDevToolsools and their Application tabs for good examples.

@jensimmons The picker methods of the File System Access API would be neat for any kind of apps that need to deal with files for input and/or output. Excalidraw, SVGcode, Boxy SVG, tldraw,… See https://t.co/yxDzQP3ovi for many more.

One decade waiting for Web APIs, by ⁦@rem⁩. In this post, Remy describes how finally the Web platform allows him to keep the screen awake with screen wake lock (https://t.co/M8dVx9VGty) and force the screen in the right orientation in full screen. htt

@rem Really good (albeit sad) use case for wake lock. If you want file system access support, check the browser-fs-access lib: https://t.co/AYE0WFV4Lr, which falls back to `<input type=file />`. By the way, I’ve PR’ed wake lock support directly into N

The folks from @telegram seem to embrace the CMA report: t.me/durov/186. The irony of reading this post with a double native app banner on the top (see screenshot) isn’t lost on me.

meyerweb Watching @tomayac put my old px2svg script to absolute shame with svgco.de in his @webhackfest talk.
