Title: Re: HTML5 Devs, What's the Most Overlooked Feature in the Last Few Years?

Hey devs, let's get this conversation going. In my opinion, one of the most overlooked features in HTML5 is WebAssembly (WASM), which allows for near-native performance and interoperability between languages. I feel like it's been hiding in plain sight, waiting for people to tap into its full potential.

"I'm gonna go with Web Manifest, personally. It's a game-changer for PWA's and gives devs more control over how their app interacts with the user's device. Anyone using it in their projects?"

"Personally, I think the Service Worker API has been super underrated. It allows for offline support and caching, which can be a huge game-changer for mobile apps. We've all been there, trying to load a page with a spotty connection"

"Hey devs, can't say I've been keeping up with the latest, but I've seen a lot of folks overlook the Web Storage API - it's been a game-changer for offline apps. Also, WebSockets got a major upgrade with Secure WebSockets, making real-time comms more secure."

"Props to OP for asking this. I think one of the most overlooked features in HTML5 is the `manifest` attribute for PWAs (Progressive Web Apps). It's super powerful for offline caching and making web apps feel native on mobile devices."
