WHATWG on 2024-07-10

00:37	<sideshowbarker>	slightly random question: has anyone written down a retrospective of the evolution of web standards recently? As far as the WHATWG evolution and core principles and history, I think the best thing is https://ln.hixie.ch/?start=1623051423, which Hixie wrote (retrospectively) just a few years back. That at least seems to be closest to what you’ve described you’re wanting to know about.
03:04	<Domenic>	That seems good for history, which is I think what you're asking. It has lots of "I'm not sure how things work these days", which if you're interested in you can fill in by browsing things like https://whatwg.org/working-mode and https://blog.whatwg.org/working-mode-changes
07:54	<Matthew>	perfect - thanks both
07:55	<Matthew>	that's even better than i could have hoped for in terms of docs :)
11:06	<keithamus>	keithamus: Thanks much for the merge Should be in prod now sideshowbarker!
11:12	<sideshowbarker>	Should be in prod now sideshowbarker! Beautiful — yup, can confirm that details auto-expand now works in Chrome for details in GH issues/PRs I’ll build from my WebKit PR branch to see the magic working there too
11:13	<sideshowbarker>	jarhar: ⤴️
15:34	<annevk>	Oh, "create a fresh top-level traversable" nice. Though I wonder if this should have some more arguments so you can set userInvolvement? My use case is automatically opening a URL when an end user clicks a notification. What do you think Domenic?
15:35	<annevk>	Anyway, really glad someone added that primitive (and exported it) as it seems to exactly match my use case.
