BCD Watch

A brand new instrument from Eric Meyer, Brian Kardell, and Stephanie Stimac backed with Igalia’s help. Brian introduced it on his weblog, as did Eric, describing it like this:

What BCD Watch does is, it grabs releases of the Browser Compatibility Knowledge (BCD) repository that underpins the help tables on MDN and providers like caniuse.com.  It then analyzes what’s modified for the reason that earlier launch.

Each Monday, BCD Watch produces two studies. The Weekly Modifications Report lists all of the adjustments to BCD that occurred within the earlier week — what’s been added, eliminated, or renamed in the entire of BCD.  It additionally tells you which ones of the Huge Three browsers newly help (or dropped help for) every listed function, together with a progress bar exhibiting how shut the function is to attaining Baseline standing.

Browser help information is at MDN. There’s additionally a lot at Caniuse.com. The 2 share information, the truth is, although not all of it. We now have Baseline, which can also be cited in MDN and Caniuse alike. It’s good to see an effort at cracking a central spot for all this — organized by date, no much less.

Oh, and hey, there’s a feed. Even higher.

You too can poke at its repo. Thanks a bunch, Eric, Brian, Stephanie, and Igalia! That is tremendous useful and already a part of my toolkit.

BCD Watch initially printed on CSS-Methods, which is a part of the DigitalOcean household. It is best to get the e-newsletter.
