August in Servo... 📈 📊 CSS grid 🖱️ 🫵 interactive selections 🔙 ↪️ navigation 🩹 🦮 accessibility roles and geometry servo.org/blog/2026/10...

Dear @mu.social can you disable the stupidly slow and privacy invasive redirect that uses go.bsky.app when we click a link to another web page? Thanks!

Trying a new design for Beaver's homescreen: a scrolling page with sections you can re-order, and a fixed header (dubbed the canopy) that gets smaller when you scroll up. Feels very webby, not just a boring icon grid. Still WIP (no way to add / remove content yet...) but I think I like it!

Super cool @servo.org based browser targeting linux handled with a gamepad: github.com/mxmgorin/ret... Very impressive feature list, we may borrow some for the @postmarketos.org version of Beaver!

Browser people, has anyone tried to improve the history back / forward mechanism and recognize that we sometimes navigate more by exploring branches? Example: A -> B -> C -> B -> D turns into A -> B -> D and C disappears. That's not ideal! I'd like it to be A -> B -> (C | D)

ATproto community: "We're building the new web!" Also ATProto community: "Biggest news this week is the iOS and Android apps from Blacksky!" Make it make sense, folks 😜

June in Servo… 🫴👷‍♀️ SharedWorker now stable 🎨🛠️ more powerful ‘attr()’ and ‘calc()’ 📏📐 new @‌media query features 🏜️🥾 real world compat improvements 🙏📰 `@‌servo-highfive monthly update` servo.org/blog/2026/07...

The ATProto hammer is in full swing. Beware if you look like a nail, even in the distance in foggy weather 😂

@servo.org way ahead of all the other browser engines with a perfect score on WebCrypto tests: wpt.fyi/results/WebC... Remember that when you think that "the web can't change". It can, it's just being held back by incumbents.

Hey @tangled.org are email notifications supposed to work? I never receive any even though I have a verified email address and the "email notifications" option checked. Help!

🦫 Beaver's internal pages for networking error and directory listing now use the design tokens from the current theme. Pretty happy with how nice they look!

good signal

Interesting device: www.sidephone.com We can dream that it's open enough to port something like @postmarketos.org ...

New Blog Post: A New Browser Vision? In which I share some thoughts about the state of things, and how maybe (realistically?) we could hope to change them. bkardell.com/blog/NewBrow...

Servo Report for Week 26 Highlights from the week: - Add aspect-ratio feature to stylo - Continued work switching to Compose UI in Android app module - Enable device-width/device-height media queries - Add support for devtools inspector to copy as inner/outer html

Discovering sneakerweb (https://sneakerweb.org/) and very tempted to implement a snk:// protocol handler in Beaver... One more item added to the ever growing nice-things-to-do list :)

Just merged the support for previews on hover for a few records types in the ATProto feed viewer of Beaver 🦫 I learned quite a bit building this feed viewer and will try to write that down before deciding the next steps implementation-wise.

Testing mentions now, with @me.webbeef.org (myself)

that should be a quote post...

And now adding proper links facets: https://example.org is an example.

Testing support for #tags in messages. Hi #web people!

Getting Beaver's ATProto feed closer to something I can daily drive: - displaying only the new posts/records since last refresh. - previews for various kind of records. Now I want it to be really usable! Also idly wondering if I should look into ActivityPub & RSS/Atom feeds.

Lots of improvement in Beaver's AtmosFeed: - follows the OS theme. - infinite scroll. - filter by record type. - better profile display for users you don't follow. - local search. - like and repost. All this without an AppView, straight to and from your PDS. Creating posts are coming next!

Servo Report for Week 25 Highlights from last week: - Add support for CSS gradient color interpolation method - Implemented pointer and hover media features - Enabled loading of servo: URLs from command line and location bar in servoshell - Enabled SharedWorker support

@eurosky.social which PDS implementation are you running?

Question for #atproto people: Is there a reason to not set the ETag header on xrpc responses for the com.atproto.sync.getBlob endpoint? It looks like the blob CID is an obvious candidate to me?

Busy ATProto feed update in 🦫 😀

any Barcelona folks on here with pointers to atproto/p2p/web/decentralization meetups or chat channels? i'm in town for a month, would be great to hang out with like-minded folks!

Thank you everyone who joined the Servo sessions at @webengineshackfest.org this year. See you next year!

Feature request for @mu.social : multi column display to get my "following", "notifications" and "news" all side by side. Thanks!

Question for #linux #linuxmobile people: we want to implement a network manager api for the Beaver web browser: should we use directly d-bus or an abstraction like networkmanager-rs.github.io/nmrs/ ? The second one seems a bit more attractive, but who knows!

Just updated Beaver to use the 1.0 release of @iroh.computer in tangled.org/me.webbeef.o... Iroh is what enables all the cross-device functionality in Beaver by taking care of all the low-level side of things: device discovery, sending bytes around reliably. It "just works"!

As promised, here's a recording of the new 🦫 desktop UI in action! Featuring: - Multiple desks and a dock - Tiled and floating web views - A command palette to search anything - Content blocker integration - Seamless p2p integration of all your Beavers. ... and more, but that video was long enough 😜

Teasing of the new desktop UI for 🦫... Will try to record a walk through in the next few days, because screenshots are not the best way to show how it works.

Hi @mu.social , why do you need the user's date of birth? Of course I had to give a fake one...
