What the Web Is About to Gain Screensaver
The What the Web Is About to Gain screensaver shows web platform features from Chrome Platform Status, gathered by the pipeline. The response carries an anti-JSON-hijacking prefix that must be stripped before it parses, and sends no CORS header. Milestones far in the future carry a stray entry each, so a milestone needs real substance before it is used. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
