mendeza / focus-live-expressions
Created January 27, 2026 21:07
UI engineers and A11y SMEs need to tracks focus assiduously. `document.activeElement` is not enough; it cannot descend into an iframe or shadowDOM.
# Chrome devtools 'live expressions' for `focus`
## Regular DOM
```
document.activeElement
```
## Inside a StoryBook iframe DOM

Scenario: "Git Backup"

You are using git as a backup tool and wish to both push and pull between two local repos, the second of which is a clone of the first.

For example, you may initialize a Markdown notes repo on your laptop's startup drive. You author, save (and version) your notes primarily in this repo, but also "backup" the content by cloning the repo to an external drive. At intervals, you pull changes from the first repo into the second (either manually, or as a cron job).
