We've seen reports of developers having trouble with App Review over apps that let users input an API token for a third-party service.

If you've run into this with App Review, get in touch. I'd like to get a sense for whether this is a widespread issue and what kinds of apps are affected.

Can we get CSS 'logical shorthands' unstuck?

The WG recently added a `size` shorthand for width & height. People asked about inline-size & block-size as well. But that issue has stalled.

With a little funding, we could make it happen! #CSS

‘Several Defense Department officials expressed shock that Mr. Hegseth had put American war plans into a commercial chat group. They said that having this type of conversation in a Signal chat group itself could be a violation of the Espionage Act, a law covering the handling of sensitive information.

Revealing operational war plans before planned strikes could also put American troops directly into harm’s way, the officials said.‘

[Atlantic Editor Goldberg] “said he was able to follow the conversation among senior members of President Trump’s national security team in the two days leading up to the strikes in Yemen. The group also included Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Mr. Goldberg wrote.

At 11:44 a.m. on March 15, Mr. Hegseth posted the “operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing,”’
