Thanks for creating and sharing this; I think it is really cool. I'm curious: what is your plan to deal with the possibility (inevitability?) of hosting copyrighted or otherwise illegal content?

As a long time web developer, I worked through IE dominance. I was a Firefox early adopter and advocated for it amongst friends and family for years. Furthermore, I am very unhappy about the state of the landscape today. One browser should

Ad targeting can be done based on what you know about the content it is displayed against. But it seems like a lot of weight is put on what the network knows about the person accessing that content. Enabling brands to automatically opt-out

As a member of the Polymer team, I consider myself very familiar with Web Components. As a body of specs, they are not perfect, and are certainly worthy of critique. I firmly believe that an educated critique of Web Components by the commun

I propose getting rid of tools altogether. On a new project, start with the following: a single browser (for bonus, choose the mobile version) and vanilla everything (JS, CSS and HTML). If you need a build step to run your tests or your cod

Script execution time is a major source of jank / lag on mobile devices. What if I don't want any script to be executed beyond what is needed by a lightweight runtime? AMP actually has a lot of really neat technical approaches to

AMP is fast and that makes it really nice when reading news on my phone. I just wish it was less centralized / dependent on Google's cache. It seems like it should be possible to build something similar to AMP - possibly even with

I hear this mentality a lot, but I wonder how true it is in practice. The pool of engineers who are experienced with your stack will be bigger if you pick a "winning" or "popular" stack. But in my experience at Big Co, t

That's all totally fair. But in my original comment, I tried to center my observation on how Facebook has threatened the openness of the web with a proprietary alternative. Is it even possible for Google to deliver the same features wi

Let's not conflate the text/HTML-based syntax and the distribution channel implemented by Google. You can render an AMP document with your own implementation of the AMP custom elements. Can I do anything remotely similar with Inst

Disclosure: I work at Google. Opinions are my own. I'm surprised when I read discussions about AMP on HN (typically carrying a negative tone regarding AMP) without anyone mentioning an obvious competing concept: Facebook Instant Articl

Custom Elements (also Shadow DOM) is a low level API that helps explain how an author can define elements that have aesthetic and functional parity with built-in HTML elements. Custom Elements provides a lot of useful features, including: c

There are a few condescending attitudes at play in your comment. Consider this: just because a language is easy to pick up doesn't mean it attracts "poorly trained devs". It just means it attracts more devs, because it is eas

No, I agree with you, actually. Luck plays a huge part. It should inform all of us with opinions in this area about how little our opinions really matter. Also, I disagree that users are suffering as a result, but that is a different discus

Yup, the game will be made entirely open source, with CC licensed art and music included. Some of the backend is currently under NDA, so we cannot make the source code public yet, but it's already on Github. We're currently thinki
