Baseline provides a snapshot of web features supported across all browsers, but feature availability is just the beginning of building a modern, capable web experience. This talk goes beyond listing what's possible and helps you determine what's best for your product using today's tools.
We'll explore how to combine features to create adaptable, resilient layouts, highlight modern UI patterns that are easier to implement, and discuss whether updating your implementation with the latest features makes your code more maintainable and robust. And much more.
