Crafting code with character — glitches are just part of the charm.

The @firefoxdevtools.bsky.social JSON viewer got better in @firefoxnightly.bsky.social : the console offers access to the original json data via `$json`.
This allows to easily manipulate the underlying data to get what you want

![Firefox JSON Viewer opened for the html entites JSON file
We can see the various properties of the JSON file, which are all objects containing a "characters" and a "codepoints" properties.
The Console is opened at the bottom. In it, we can see a console message explaining that some data is available (`$json.data` - the parsed JSON object, $json.text` - the original JSON text and `$json.headers` - HTTP request and response headers)
There's a console evaluation done with the following snippet:
```js
Object.entries($json.data)
.filter(([k, v]) => v.codepoints.length > 1)
.map(([k, v]) => ({characters: v.characters, htmlEntity: k, codepoints: v.codepoints}))
```
and the result shows an array of objects containing "characters", "htmlEntity" and "codepoints" properties.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l6jizqbrtfnhnrd7vmsqmi3n/bafkreigizqr72frwj6qa53onh2tskqmcmrydexkzeydrkrarwiuoyulcmq@jpeg)

📝 Importing vs fetching JSON
JSON imports are now supported cross-browser, but when would you use them rather than fetch()?

Importing vs fetching JSON
They behave differently, so make sure you pick the right one.

As an experiment, we (the Firefox team) wanted to try a new way to get feedback on which Interop proposals matter most.
So, here's a web app where you can rank the proposals you care about, giving us data we can use when reviewing which ones to champion.

I got my first blog post published on the ESLint blog! 🙌
It's a good one IMO - "what's the difference between ESLint and TypeScript" comes up often when folks enter web dev. I'm relieved to finally have a single great post that answers the question the way I'd want to.

ESLint and TypeScript are two static analysis tools with some things in common and some differences. @joshuakgoldberg.com explains how understanding their differences helps you to use them together effectively.

Excellent article on avoiding `aria-label` on divs, spans, and other non-interactive elements.
📝 New post!
`aria-label` and `aria-labelledby` aren't allowed on divs, spans, and other static text elements out of the box, and *most* screenreaders won't announce them.

Don’t Use aria-label on Static Text Elements
Don’t use the aria-label or aria-labelledby attributes on divs, spans, or other elements representing static/noninteractive text-level semantics, unless you’re also updating roles.

🌠 For years, the #1 most requested feature in CSS was Container Queries. We wanted them so badly!
Well, they’ve arrived… and none of us are using them. 😂
I think I know why, and I just published a new blog post that will hopefully change that!
