That might actually be a bug in Firefox. The source text is correct and it works in Chrome. `text-overflow` shouldn't apply to text that fit on a line...

esbuild still doesn’t support top-level await. And live reloading is way, way slower than HMR.

It matters a lot more if you use vim at a huge resolution, or anything that sends a lot of control sequences. Terminal.app and iTerm get sluggish.

It probably looks very wrong to people who still think lots of "modularity" and small packages is a good thing. I'm all for it, and lots of Bun APIs are purely practical. Bun.strin…

Automattic acquired LearnBoost who employed TJ Holowaychuk, the original creator of node-canvas (and also Express and tons else). Automattic has not been involved in any way since …

Interesting take on representing charts in an accessible way. I feel like, as web developers, we were fed a myth that lots of markup and attributes automatically makes your content…

That's because Noto Sans Telugu (the font dropflow automatically downloaded based on the text; doesn't seem like a great pick but not wrong?) is returning ligatures. Not all fonts …

Paste the following into https://chearon.github.io/dropflow/ to see that it _is_ possible to style individual Arabic characters in canvas: ع ر ب ي That uses harfbuzzjs to do shapin…

The title made me think this could actually layout and paint HTML, but I couldn't find anything remotely layout-related in the source tree. Then I found this comment saying even bl…

> the amount of complexity associated with just stamping some glyphs onto a canvas has left me screaming at my laptop on an almost daily basis This made me laugh because I can rela…

I do think complexity could be part of why we don't have many options here, but I don't agree that a layout engine is too difficult to maintain. More of the issue is that CSS layou…

Yes, this is pretty high up on my list. I've already done a little bit of work on pagination/fragmentation, but it will take me some time.

Google Docs uses canvas, yeah, and last I looked it used an empty contentEditable just to receive [rich text] input. I do think you could use this to write a document editor like D…

With this and node-canvas, you have everything you need to generate PDFs. I'll add an example to the examples/ directory for that. The spreadsheet library and PDFs I talked about i…

Yes, definitely. In the meantime, you can still use this to get the intrinsic sizes of cells to create rows and columns, and you can use an empty inline-block and paint the image w…

Wow thanks! Seeing Ladybird progress kept me motivated!

> wondering if css and svg could be used as abstraction over graphics and UI libraries There's another project called Sciter that uses CSS to target native graphics libraries: http…

For the last 5 years I've been working on a layout engine that targets CSS2 and some more modern properties. Live demo: https://chearon.github.io/dropflow/ It matches browsers in a…

I had the same experience. Very often, I couldn't fall asleep until 6-7am. I felt like I was losing my mind. I got professional help from sleep psychologists but it didn't do much.…

The browser doesn't know what the auto size is any more than you do until it performs a layout (reflow). Layouts are expensive and must be minimized. And what if content is changed…

You can still browse the source on GitHub though. I don't mind them trying to make more money so much. What I don't like is that we have 3 bugs open, one of them 3 years old, that …

It does but only after a layout. Interpolating from `height: 0;` to `height: 10px` is easy, but interpolating to `height: auto` takes an additional layout. I always assumed that yo…

I often have to set `min-width: 0` if it's a flexbox inside another flexbox. `min-width` defaults to `auto` which means the smaller of the `width` on it and its content width. The …
