[EchoJS] How do you feel about adjacent content?

As many of us are using JS in the context of a web browser, related content is highly correlated but often rides the edge of off topic, sometimes over, sometimes under.

Example: https://www.echojs.com/news/38546

Which I was about to remove, but it's just one of those things that I don't want to be overly restrictive on.  It's more about the interfaces than it is a specific other language. I've removed content like, 'Compile $LANGUAGE to WebAssembly.'

So I'm asking to get some consensus, or at least opinions/discussion on the issue.  Namely, how do you feel about seeing articles on CSS or WebAssembly related content?

I personally see it as relevant, but CSS, WebAssembly, TS, Deno, GraphQL, all feel like they live on the edge of what's relevant. I agree that "Compile $LANGUAGE to WebAssembly" seems to be over that imaginary line.

Thank you for soliciting our opinions! :)

As others have said, I see it as relevant, and I don't think there's ever an overwhelming amount of new content on EchoJS, so I don't ever worry about the top 20 posts all being about WASM. That might change as the site grows though.

CSS content would be fine I guess as long as its CSS that's kind of related to JS, like modifying custom properties with JS or using an AST in JS to modify CSS. I would see WebAssembly just not fitting as much because its a whole lot more than just JS and the web.

I was just asking myself this question after posting news about a TS library I learned about 😅
