Open Web Standards Platform

WHATWG.DEV is the collaborative hub where web standards evolve through community-driven development. Our platform empowers developers, browser implementers, and specification writers to shape the future of the web through transparent, iterative processes. The Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) is responsible for maintaining multiple web-related technical standards, including the specifications for the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and the Document Object Model (DOM).

At the core of WHATWG.DEV is a version-controlled, distributed infrastructure that mirrors modern software development workflows. Proposals and edits are submitted as pull requests against the living standards, triggering automated test suites and browser compatibility checks. This Git-based workflow provides a transparent and auditable history of every change, allowing for robust peer review and asynchronous collaboration across time zones. It democratizes the standards process, empowering any developer to contribute meaningfully.

Our platform integrates directly with browser vendors' continuous integration pipelines, enabling rapid prototyping and feedback on new features. This tight feedback loop between specification and implementation is critical for creating standards that are not only theoretically sound but also practical and performant in real-world browsers. By bridging the gap between standards bodies and engineering teams, WHATWG.DEV ensures that the web platform remains stable, interoperable, and innovative.

Join a global community committed to building open, accessible, and forward-compatible web standards that benefit everyone in the ecosystem.
