Thanks all for watching both in person and on the @londonwebstandards.org site! It was a pleasure to present at State Of The Browser 2026 (despite going over time!), hope to be back again next year #sotb

RAMO If you don’t go to Web Day Out, I think you’re going to regret it.

By all accounts, it was an excellent event. The regret at missing out (RAMO) is real. I remotely attended #SotB 2026 and I’d love it if more events offered a remote option.

Temporal_rs is here! The datetime library powering Temporal in Boa, Kiesel, and V8 | Boa JS Temporal_rs is here! The datetime library powering Temporal in Boa, Kiesel, and V8

This is actually the implementation that some, if not all, of the browser engines are using! @jason-williams.co.uk mentioned it in his talk about Temporal #SotB but it hasn't been published yet, if I remember I will share it here when that happens.

For now, check this out: boajs.dev/blog/2025/09...

Ahhh to be back home after a quick jaunt to London for #SotB. Great to catch up with some familiar faces and meet up with some online people for the first time IRL! Conference was pretty good too 😀

Had an absolutely brilliant day at #sotb. The web is still cool.

I have picked up many new software web people followers today thanks to #SotB.

With due apologies to you all for the Doctor Who and skepticism content to come.

Thank you for a fantastic day today @letorey.co.uk and the whole #SotB team.
Never fails to be one of my favourite events with some of the best speakers and talks and such a friendly atmosphere.
Surprise! The day was how many people put their hands up who said they've used image maps!

#SotB

#SotB26 #SotB Client side rendering is still the default in React. And honestly so many engineers view anything other as a hassle.

#SotB26 #SotB my first ever web job, we did a static build of a job board every morning from an MS Access database. It took 2 hours every day.

Surprise cameo by @matuzo.at before @zachleat.com‘s #SotB26 Talk …
And while this looks like a memorial - everyone is alive and chipper.

#SotB

#SotB26 #SotB Zach really speed-running the history of web performance and I’m loving it.
