Frontend

Lots of new faces here – welcome, fellow HTML renderers! ✨

Let's do some introductions:

1. What's your favorite HTML/CSS/JavaScript feature?
2. What are you currently using /frontend technology to build?
3. What framework, library or stack are you hoping to learn, or think more people should know about?

Extra bonus if you include links to developer.mozilla.org and GitHub!

So much more efficient compared to the old method of listening to scroll events and polling for bounding boxes!

The layout thrashing that technique induced was atrocious.
