Second day of #io19 is an embarrassment of webperf riches...

- Firebase launches (free) real user perf monitoring for the web.. \o/
- Search Console announced new Speed Report, powered by CrUX data
- Performance budget (Lightwallet) support coming to Lighthouse

wait, more...

Google Fonts announced upcoming support for font-display! This will allow you to specify own font render policy for fonts hosted on fonts.google.com— a muuuuch requested feature. So excited to see this.

Great explainer @ bit.ly/2CsROnb

Bonus round: @akamaidev launched a new competitive benchmarking tool, powered by Chrome User Experience Data, that allows you to compare your (or your competitors) site against other major sites in the industry — awesome.

Will try to post my text notes from #io19 here in thread ⬇️

Driving mode will be available for all devices with assistant. You can do everything (calls, text messages etc) with your voice, without leaving maps app. Super cool, if someone is calling you, you can say: "decline" 🤯

Google rolls out special features to manage your data and privacy:
- auto delete data after N
- incognito mode for Maps
- use your phone as Security Key
- personal AI models will store in the phone, not in the cloud #io19

Now, I have my badge! I'm fully ready for tomorrow #io19

I'm awake for 21 hours now. My only goal is to not sleep. It's time for a walk!

This is one of the thing I like here: you can be alone super quickly

And the trip to California is starting!
