Commenters discussed the 2027 Web Platform Feature Ranking site with a mix of praise and practical feedback. Esafak applauded the ranker and urged open-sourcing it, while Culi argued printing, print preview, and print-related CSS - seen as a major cross-browser inconsistency - were missing from the list. Adverbly welcomed large entries like responsive iframes, but Jaffathecake criticized the responsive-iframe/gap-decoration execution as only resizing on DOMContentLoaded and load, failing to react to dynamic changes (e.g., expanding details or window resizes) without manual window.requestResize(), and said that made it feel only marginally better than current hacks. Jaffathecake also noted the feature is shipped in Chromium and included in the Interop 2027 proposals.
Other commenters pressed for usability and scope improvements. Onavo asked for category-specific ranking because features such as WebBiDi don’t concern every team, and Zb3 questioned why proposals required signing in - Jaffathecake enabled a read-only mode for logged-out visibility in response. Dbbk reminded readers of the long-ago iframe seamless proposal, and Anon48293 plus Jaffathecake criticized GitHub’s permission wording, saying the login app shouldn’t need to enumerate which resources a user can access and that the documentation phrasing is misleading.
