We would like to congratulate @lukewarlow.dev on being appointed by the W3C TAG as an Associate!

The Associate program (tag.w3.org/associates/) was launched a little over a year ago with the goal of helping to extend the TAG's ability to review and influence work.

Initial prototype of a `<toolbar>` element is coming along. Largely piggybacks off the focusgroup code so it's actually quite simple to do.

Lots to discuss and tweak before it's finished but got to start somewhere.

This was good fun! @bkardell.com and @meyerweb.com were really cool about this and had some really good questions that made me rethink some aspects of Wallace. 10/10 would recommend. 20 year old me still can't believe I get to make stuff like this.

We sat down with @veneman.dev of @projectwallace.com to dig into the study of CSS on the Web β€” how it's analyzed, what the data reveals, and why it matters.

2 improvements shipped today!

- denser analysis view (if you're on Firefox, or you have experimental grid-lanes enabled in chromium)
- analyze custom element selectors, like details-utils, is-land, pagefind-search, etc. etc. (h/t @bkardell.com for the idea!)

Google's text to speech service does not support pretty much any Celtic language (Welsh (cy‑GB) I guess is an exception).

Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx, Cornish, and Breton are all missing?

I don't really know about any of those but I really wanted it to say Saoirse & you can forget it I think.

If you'd told me that one day I'd be excited about a property called `border-shape`, I wouldn't have believed you.

And yet, here we are. @una.im shared the new CSS property coming to Chrome, which allows you to actually "shape" elements. πŸ‘
