If you, for example, search google for something for example: web almanac page weight you see results from '21 and '22

search result for web almanac page weight

('24's github issue is a little further down the page.)

If I click on a result, there's no real indication that there is indeed a newer version of the chapter:

This is especially the case on mobile, as above, at least on desktop there's the year dropdown, but even then, perhaps not super obvious this is a dated version.

I think adding some kind of UX that let's users know there's a newer version along these lines (but not naff, like this :D ):

Would highlight to users that there's a newer version they might want to check out. I'm not familiar with the stack that almanac is built on, but hopefully something like that could be handled at build time?

That way each chapter would point at the newest published version, and in a case of all roads lead to roam, that might support the surfacing of the latest version in search, and if not, at least the latest version is highlighted.

This was discussed in #1764 but we never agreed on how this should look. The yellow banner (currently used for live stream) was my quick and dirty suggestion and it would be easy to implement (though shouldn't be on at same time as live stream banner—but that's a short term thing).

Ah! That's what you get for not checking other open issues!

Personally I like the idea of it being near published dates, feels fitting there, but yeah, the yellow banner would do the same job!
