@schizanon @bp @brianleroux @surma @slightlyoff same. But if there's a solution where I don't have to do stuff like that, I'll take it.

@surma @bp @brianleroux @slightlyoff right. "Use the platform… by which we mean rebuild it all from scratch". We gave Flutter shit for this in a recent episode. I think CEs have better goals, but we should feel free to call out where they're falling short.

@brianleroux @slightlyoff @surma @bp if I'm making components that can be used with any framework (or without), messing with the light-dom creates a two-owner problem, which I'm really hoping to avoid. Else it's kinda just jQuery-UI

Some updates:➡️ An IIFE is enough to trigger this leak➡️ It's a cross-browser issue➡️ There are other articles on this (some lower-level)➡️ No, this isn't due to eval()https://jakearchibald.com/2024/garbage-collection-and-closures/#updates

@pygy @Drarok you can set values to null or whatever when they're no longer needed.

📝 I set off to find the best way to make video with transparency work on the web.Over 10 bug reports later, it turns out it's better to handle the transparency manually with WebGL. Here's how:https://jakearchibald.com/2024/video-with-transparency/

@MerriNet huh, interesting. I'll dig into that when I'm near my Windows machine. It doesn't happen on my Mac

@MerriNet whoa, that's surprising. Fwiw I just pushed an update so it now uses WebGL2 if it's available. I don't know if that will change anything.

@krinkle hardware decoders for h264 are pretty common. Hardware for AV1 is in some devices too.

View Transitions are enabled by default in Firefox Nightly, so they're on their way to stable. Give it a test with your current transitions, and give me a shout if anything doesn't look right.I'm happy to report the most important transition works perfectly https://simple-vt-demos.jakearchibald.com/batman-transition/

Folks who want to see JPEG-XL supported in more browsers, what is it about the format that attracts you to its use on the web compared to currently supported formats?

AV1 is crazy-good for encoding screencasts. 1:28 of video, higher-than-HD resolution, less than 2mb. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1996198#c0There's not a lot of movement, but many codecs just don't handle that well.Here are my encoding settings, including skipping repeat frames https://gist.github.com/jakearchibald/39932dee13a10a757b86b853e16ac79f
