Entries are now open for Interop 2026, a yearly effort where anyone, from users to web developers, can submit their best ideas to improve cross-browser interoperability.Here’s how to participate.Interop started in 2022, when Apple, Bocoup, Google, Italia, Microsoft, and Mozilla came together “to commit to improve interoperability in 15 key areas that will have the most impact on web developer experience.” The project, which stemmed from Google’s Compat initiative, gained enough traction to become an annual event.
As the group explains it: Apple stresses that it is important that any submitted idea is built on top of a mature web standard from the likes of W3C, and TC39, otherwise “it’s too early for it to be a Focus Area for Interop 2026.” The company notes that testability is also an essential criteria, so it is important to keep these two things in mind.How to submit an idea The Interop group has published an extensive documentation on Github, where they also flesh out the criteria outlined above.But in a nutshell, as explained on Apple’s WebKit blog: Apple also says that aside from reading proposals submitted in previous years, participants can either file new issues on Github, or comment on existing proposals “to help further make the case.” Proposal submissions opened today, September 4, and will run through September 24.
