Highlights from this week
This week I worked on a bunch of infrastructure and editorial cleanup across content. I was delighted to see and review the release note entries for Temporal in Firefox and the tabGroups API. Here’s some other highlights
- Live sample modernization: I converted a few older JSFiddle-based examples into our live sample system for CSS examples. Bringing the code from external places into the page content makes it much easier to maintain long-term.
- Sidebar improvements: I updated the
xml,wasm, andhtmlsidebars to link to more child pages. These tidy-ups help improve navigation and IA consistency. - ARIA docs: “Short titles” are front matter keys that are used in sidebars and site breadcrumbs instead of a page title. This makes site navigation easier to read, and it looks a lot cleaner, overall.
- Security: Left some feedback on a new guide about XS-Leaks, which fills an important gap in our security documentation.
Summary
I worked on 24 total pull requests, including 5 created and 19 reviewed, across multiple repositories.
