Hi! I'm working on a new HTML feature: filterable select There are two proposed API shapes so far: 1. Nesting <input> in <select> 2. Sibling <input> for listbox <select> w/id ref Option 1 is more ergonomic, but would break selects in older browsers Thoughts? (Both currently in Canary w/flag)

There's an ideal set of sizing constraints for custom <select>, but the CSS is a bit tricky. Here's how to make it work, and a tour of new CSS features along the way. jakearchibald.com/2026/goldilo...

I got hooked on self-hosting so I made my own entire framework and deployment stack running on my own hardware. porffor.dev and goose.icu have been running on it for a few days. no I wouldn't recommend doing this sort of thing for serious use (and no I won't release it) but it is very fun!

porffor.dev is now served by a Porffor-compiled TS native binary!
