Notes on bikeshedding :bicyclist:

Branch gh-pages is automatically updated from main branch upon commit.

During development it's often a good idea to try and render MediaRecorder.bs locally, for that, and using the online compiler:

curl https://api.csswg.org/bikeshed/ -F file=@MediaRecorder.bs -F force=1 > MediaRecorder.html

if the produced file has a strange size (i.e. zero, a few KBs), then something went terribly wrong; run instead:

curl https://api.csswg.org/bikeshed/ -F file=@MediaRecorder.bs -F output=err

and try to figure out why bikeshed did not like the .bs :'(
