About fednews.fyi
fednews.fyi is a daily brief for senior frontend developers. Each entry covers one story that changes how you build, style, ship, or secure a web application. The target is a minute of reading, not a summary of everything that happened.
Coverage follows the work: the browser platform, CSS, React, JavaScript, TypeScript, build tooling, and the security of the packages you install. If a story does not change a build, a bundle, a client, a stylesheet, or a dependency, it does not run.
How a brief is made
- Research. Find the original announcement, release, documentation, or advisory. Aggregators, personal blogs, and secondhand summaries are not sources.
- Reader value. Reject spec-sheet feature lists that do not say what changes for the reader, what breaks, or what to ignore.
- Source check. Every URL must resolve to the primary source. A brief with only secondary sources does not publish.
- Validation. Check versions, dates, identifiers, severity scores, and affected ranges against the source. Uncertainty goes back to research.
- Editing. Remove filler, tighten the opening, and confirm the brief still reads like a developer wrote it.
