The last two days I've been at the JAX Conference in the beautiful city of Mainz. After two days of conference full with talks it was time to catch up on some outstanding #posts and #articles in the #frontend #webdev space. I hope you find them as enjoyable as I did!

4. We Need To Rewild The Internet by Maria Farrell and Robin Berjon
I think this might be an uphill battle - but at least it's one for the right cause.

Great writeup on a very nice PR that will be the backbone of the upcoming 5.5 release.
8. Help us invent CSS Grid Level 3, aka “Masonry” layout by Jen Simmons
We are talking since years about Masonry layouts - now we are hopefully one step closer.
9. ECMAScript 2024 takes shape by Paul Krill

One word: JavaScript.
