21 Awesome Web Features you’re not using yet

why did i even watch this i dont even do web development

Inert is such an awesome feature in terms of accessibility - it can completely hide entire sections of e.g. a navigation without having to toggle tabindex on every single focusable element... Also one of the cool things included in Dialog (it will give you inert out of the box)

that first one hit hard, i once wanted to make something because i barely ever do any web stuff, and thought "okay, so first I need a modal dialog, can't be hard right?"

How the hell you can code and test so many things? Please tell us the secrets

I knew the dialog tag 🙄 but not knowing how to use it

One day, your mum will reply.

In German it's just "ve ve ve" it always sounded so wierd having to say 3x "double-u". But still, what is this? the 90's? Nobody even says it anymore lmao!

I’m probably going to use all the css ones when making my next CSS only web app

Great one!

structuredClone - wow! Only 15 years after lodash implemented it and liberated EVERY project on Earth from implementing its own version of the deep cloning algorithm. BTW, structuredClone also handsomely transfers objects to a worker thread. Native dialogs - cool, but will take another 20 years to natively support a stateful dialog - a modal with its own bookmarkable URL. Some of us may still be eaten by AI alive!

These were actually all amazing!

It is absolutely mind boggling to me that the web is built on such garbage tier language. Even VBA has more sensible syntax and basic functionality.

Oh well, maybe it won't suck by the time I retire.

This is great and all, but it's starting to feel like HTML+CSS+JS is becoming the new C++. There will be 342 ways of doing the same thing, with a gazillion units, CSS rules, tag attributes and top-level functions. Oh, and all of them with their little quirks and subtle incompatibilities between browsers. Something to look forward to. :/

only here for memes!!!

Damn that was a lot of thing i missing

Wow, so much new features making coding easier, Thanks Fireship!

Horny goat weed person of culture

#20 goes CRAZY!

why would anyone wanna use dialog which generate a "virtual" dialog with it's own style when you can use <Alert> which generate a NATIVE dialog ?

The more I know about web technologies the more I wonder how hotchpotch and ad hoc solutions most of them seem.

Man structuredClone made my life so much easier this week, thank you for letting me know about this

You an't a reel web develper unless you write u'r own animations and effects by hand each time. Now geet off ma' lawn.

Ah. More things that ChatGPT won’t be able to help with since they came out after 2021 :)

The dialog feature works well when I use it in an html file I created from scratch. But when I tried to use it in my existing .NET MVC 4 app, I'm getting an error "uncaught typeerror d.showModal is not a function". Anyone here knows why? Thanks!

It's even faster to say dub-dub-dub, which is how I invented space-x twice

What is tailwind doing here? It is not a web feature.

A good one man, thanks.

Thanks for the update. You give me the inspiration to stay up to date in web technologies. Can you please do a video on ViewTransitionsAPI

Dub-dub-dub for www

Let's rejoice over structuredClone() 🎉

"As you can see, WebGPU is far more majestic"... It looks exactly the same ^^

That's how I feel about state drop-down menus. You can't type in MA for Massachusetts or type in Massachusetts a lot of the time because it defaults to Maine. How much time have people wasted on state drop-down menus?

Can't wait to replace the my minilons of JSON.parse(JSON.strifingify())

10th one is the most needed one. It took two freaking days for me to know and debug that issue of pass by reference in JS

brooo slowwww dowwn a bit, u dont even give time to digest one thing......

when was the last time anyone played a game on web?
for me it was back when faceook was a thing and flash was a thing, i'm old

"structuredClone" wow this was so needed!

Was I the only one distracted by the Horny Goat Weed pills?

Colored fonts makes me think of those imported styled text you could do in MS Word in like early -00.

Is the Animation -Timeline feature similar to GSAP ScrollTrigger?

❤

This is so cool it looks like an April Fools prank

Whoa
