RIP html5rocks! Definitely a highlight in my career. Proud of the entire team over the yrs. A global group of web devs producing some of the very best content EVER! It was such a joy to be part of it all since day 1, inspire so many, and see a community catalyze in the process.

I had so much fun with the team creating this, but priorities changed and it slowly languished. I'm glad we could keep the content and the links, well, linking.
LazyWeb: any way for a web app to feature detect that the "Allow Notifications" OS setting has been turned off? If the user previously gave access (Notification.permission === 'granted'), it would be useful signal to help educate users on how/where to re-enable.
Webpack/NextJS experts. I have a tree shakeable npm lib used across our app. Some large components only get used on a few pages. Next still bundles them with the lib bundle. Since most pages don't them, they hurt perf. What's the magic to keep them out, only load on needed pages?
Did web notifications get WAY less useful + engaging on Android 12? Seems the default now is to not show as a pop-up banner. Instead just a little icon in the status bar that's easy to miss :( Users are not going to find these settings. cc @ChromiumDev
Performance testing more than just page load by automating user journeys!

Amaze! Being able to test diff screenreaders has never been easy. Most devs don't have the test machines or working knowledge of AT across platforms. Add Talkback for mobile testing -> take my 💰
🦮 OMG, there is a BrowserStack for assistive technology! Using assistivlabs.com/ you can test in many ATs without installing them or changing your OS settings.

Whaaa!? Never occurred to me to use media queries on preload links. Would love to see a deep dive on good strategies.

✅ users take 14% more rides than browser.
✅ users on older devices take 11% more rides than native.
✅ 40% more "Install PWA"
clicks vs "Download app".
Rideshare 🚗 is a unique use case! Hope to share more.

Lazy web...any link rel=preconnect experts? Attempting to connect to a cdn with a header sent on the main page. In the screenshot, I'd expect to see the network setup happen as/before the main page loads. Can someone explain why it's happening after page load?
