I Didn't Know The Browser Could Do That!
summary
Demos show the browser doing speech synthesis and recognition (speechRecognition works only in Chrome and sends audio to Google servers), geolocation plus Google Maps reverse geocoding, the Notifications API and server-driven push that appears while the page is closed via a service worker, Battery Status events, and getUserMedia + MediaRecorder for webcam/audio capture. A small assistant ties them together: microphone → speech-to-text → location → weather API → spoken reply, and a fun face filter uses tracking.js; everything shown runs in the page.
