Announcing the WebDX Community Group: w3.org/blog/2022/11/webdx-im…
Our two initial goals:
- Enable shared research on the pain points that developer face
- Make it easier for developers to track the list of features that are widely available and those that are under development
I've been working with a bunch of other great folks in structuring a collaborative efforts to improve the overall Web Developer Experience (under the WebDX moniker). This is very early days, but exciting prospects! w3.org/blog/2022/11/webdx-im…
This work on feature mapping constitutes the second focus of the group, where we expect to work with @mozdevnet, @caniuse and others to make it easier to navigate the non-stop evolution of the #WebPlatform.
The WebDX Community Group is helping with providing additional data on fragmentation, with additional surveys running on @mozdevnet, but also by improving how we map and track progress on features deployment - see @tidoust's initial research the topic

A key theme of the results of these surveys is how painful it is for developers to deal with fragmentation among browsers. This led to the launch of the Interop project, focused on reducing that fragmentation. mobile.twitter.com/foolip/st…
This builds on the cross-vendor collaboration > that was at the source of the @mozdevnet Developer Needs Assessment surveys in 2019 and 2020

The 2020 MDN Web Developer Needs Assessment (DNA) report is now available! 🎉📖
This year, browser compatibility remains the top pain point.

Massive thanks to all who contributed to the survey!

What needs fixing? A first pillar of the work of the group is to facilitate shared research on developer needs, to improve the shared understanding of the gaps to maximize impact.

The recently launched @w3c WebDX #CommunityGroup is looking at coordinated approaches to improve the overall developer experience of the #WebPlatform - which a number surveys have shown to be lacking in several aspects.
