This is exactly the kind of resource the web platform needs more of: practical, test-backed guidance on how modern CSS features actually behave with Shadow DOM. https://shadow-dom-css.adobe.com/

Browsers crash. Tabs close. Life happens. Here’s a web component that saves form progress so your users don’t have to start over from scratch. https://www.aaron-gustafson.com/notebook/never-lose-form-progress-again/

Did the issue get resolved?

Looks like a mitigation should resolve the issue in the next 24-48 hours. Hopefully sooner.

Of course! Hopefully it helps. 🤞🏻

Once filed, hit me up if you need someone to push from inside the company. Happy to help, especially if I have a name of someone to escalate with (it’s a big company and that’s not a team I work with).

Sometimes you only want a field to show when certain other fields have a (particular) value. The `form-show-if` web component enables that.

I know of a handful of accessibility specialists who were impacted by yesterday’s RIF at Microsoft. If you’re looking for amazing accessibility talent (PMs and Engineering Managers), please reach out.

I really appreciated Cory LaViska’s take on #WebComponents here.
