5x5: March’s Best of Tech Roundup
The tech airwaves have been crackling with spirited debates and collective cheers. We rejoiced as Apple decided not to drop support for PWAs in iOS, +1 for the open web. We welcomed Interaction to Next Paint as the new shiny Core Web Vital, bidding adieu to First Input Delay. On the design front, we ventured into the vibrant world of accessibility, uncovering valuable insights with designing for colour blindness.

Plus, NeuroPrompts, an idea that smartly refines prompts while respecting your creative direction, and a bit of a reality check for Tailwind CSS enthusiasts.
With that out of the way let's dive in and explore what else has been happening!
