The winter edition of the #roadmap of #WebApps on mobile is out! It highlights exploratory work of the @w3c @wicg_ to close the gap with native: https://www.w3.org/2018/12/web-roadmaps/mobile/ #January2019 -- thanks to @tidoust @XueFuqiao @W3CChina @Beihang1952 https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1082169101991198720

For example, native apps can display badges next to their icon to notify users about incoming events, pending messages, etc. Soon doable in Web apps too? Check the Badging #API in the #roadmap: https://www.w3.org/2018/12/web-roadmaps/mobile/lifecycle.html#badging

Also, soon a good way to avoid janks while updating the DOM? Lock an element and its subtree with Display Locking: https://www.w3.org/2018/12/web-roadmaps/mobile/performance.html#display-locking

As a reminder, #WebAssembly started in 2018 its path on the @w3c standardization track
https://twitter.com/w3cdevs/status/964131886716112898

In the past couple of years, #WebAssembly has already changed the way #apps get built and deployed on the Web. In this video, @luke_wagner tells us what new tricks #WebAssembly has up its leeves #wasm https://vimeo.com/311391518

It has been opening new roads in terms of what needs to be provided by native browser code vs shipped by app #developers. Most recently, @tsahil reported on its possible impact on #WebRTC for e.g. codec distribution

Thanks to @luke_wagner for taking the time at #w3ctpac2018 to do this short and sweet summary of what's next for #WebAssembly
https://vimeo.com/311391518 #Lyon #October2018

#WebAssembly is also expected to play a role in the server-side world: as a universal bytecode, it provides tantalizing opportunities for deploying #CloudServices
