Extensible Web Manifesto

Business Profile

Core Value Proposition

Extensible Web Manifesto provides a framework of design principles to accelerate and improve the extensible web by prioritizing low-level web capabilities, JavaScript-driven feature iteration, and faster feedback between developers and standards bodies.

Target Customer

Web developers, library/framework authors, browser vendors, standards organizations (e.g., W3C, TC39).

Key Differentiator

Advocates exposing low-level web platform capabilities and implementing high-level features in JavaScript before standardization to create a virtuous cycle between standards and developers, speeding feedback and iteration.

Implementation Timeline

Not specified in content

Pain Points

1Long standardization timelines for new web features (months to years).
2Weak, slow feedback loop from developers to standards bodies.
3Limited ability for developers and libraries to prototype and iterate on new features before they are standardized.

Key Features

1Focus on adding low-level, secure, efficient capabilities to the web platform.
2Expose low-level capabilities in terms of HTML and CSS to help authors understand and replicate them.
3Develop and test high-level features in JavaScript before standardization to allow rapid developer iteration.
4Encourage libraries and developers to polyfill and build on top of the platform capabilities.
5Create a virtuous cycle between standards and developers to accelerate feedback and real-world usage.
