Hard to say without inspecting but the last time I ran into something similar it was a case of one browser doing faux bold and the other not due to the font-face configuration, weights, and browser differences in handling a heavier weight for a font-family that didn’t support it.

All that said, maybe I'm wrong about it being inescapable!

Didn't note it because I presumed this was an example for the spec issue meant to illustrate rather than a work around for production; as a work-around that blink would make it a no go for me at least.

My original github issue was based on the presumption of such an inescapable issue.

Apologies, but I should have also mentioned the visual content blink on drop when the drag-preview is replaced by the actual element. As best I can tell, there's no way around this — the preview disappears before the page has a chance to respond.

Re: Browser: I forgot! 😅 Either Safari 18.2 or Chrome 135 (MacOS).

Drag preview opacity seems the same in either... It's much more transparent in Firefox (137) fwiw.

Oh nice!

I think this captures the idea pretty well!

On drop, I might pop the z-index of the faux drag preview so transition stacking is as-if drag-preview-origin elements are always on top and also hide the initial dragged element for a smidge more clarity.

I initially imagined it impossible assuming the OS is responsible for handling drag previews, but I saw the work done on style-able select elements and the ability to essentially ‘opt out’ of system handling, and it seemed like a precedent for what a transitionable drag preview would need.

Syllabuses must be approved by DOGE (specifically by their in-house closed source LLM which can't process PDFs btw).

Lovely list

🤔

Maybe something at far end of ambiguous bounds like “the game”?

Async kinda hit by Lantz’s UP but wonder if there’s an ARG-like with low weekly commit that’d stretch for ~month.

Are there any _micro_ legacy games yet?

Anyone yet make “Schedule a D&D session… The Game” game?
