Well, at least they own their mistakes and change accordingly. All email is shit. Nothing is encrypted and many company's simply try to sell you on better productivity (hey.com). Already having my email be encrypted so that the host ca

Fair enough, and I guess we have to differentiate between VC-funded and others. E.g. your comment might be true for VC-funded. But it may not be true for other types, e.g. bootstrapping. But then additionally, I'm super surprised how a

Hi, Tim here. I'm the author of this long document you clicked on. I started this project spontaneously on Nov 13, 2020 and thought: Why not start writing things down in a changelog.txt file. That document has now morphed into a large

Is import maps considered an accepted proposal [1]? What's the point of implementing APIs like WebGPU and localstorage in a non-browser environment? I get WHATWG streams, esm, fetch and WebCrypro though. - 1: https://github.
