You can make an iOS shortcut to make it appear as an "app" (launches keychain manager). I did this for some elderly folk, works great.

Go outside and everything is covered in fucking cars.

there are no street lights in the entire city.

Yikes. Street lighting is one of the most important safety improvements, especially for people walking, as most pedestrian deaths due to drivers occur at night.

Of course, if we weren't so dependent on cars to do literally everything this wouldn't be the case, and we could safely get rid of a lot of street lighting.

I’m being bitten by this right now. Registered a domain in personal account, want to move to a different cloudflare account and I can’t since that’s completely unsupported. The recommendation is to transfer out to external registrar, wait 60 days, transfer back in.

Can’t even change the name servers, since that’s not configurable with cloudflare.

And I can’t move the domain out of cloudflare so I can change nameservers for 60 days because I just registered the domain…

Support very unhelpful, situation sucks.

That's weird. Every time I've applied to get out of sandbox it's taken <24 hours, including very recently.

Browserstack. Free for FOSS

Wow, it's actually happening! Providing the notifications API behind "add to home screen" is exactly what I've been hoping for.

Nice seeing this on the top of HN, lucky timing, I was just browsing code/blogposts etc last night and ended up donating €30. I've been toying with the software and I've been pretty impressed.

I'd like to see an invite-based signup option like Mastodon, but other than that, it's a nice roadmap!

Most recently, hosting Mastodon has been great (single user).

It's a lot more productive to support a free helmet program in your city, if you really want more people to wear helmets.

Some APIs need to be locked behind “add to home screen” starting with the notifications api.

Amazon prime isn’t even two days anymore in Madison. It’s more like four or five days. I don’t understand what people value in prime anymore.

Nice. I wish there was some web API to record geolocation in the background over time. I understand the privacy implications, but if it was an API only available to installed PWAs, and with an indicator similar to native apps when recording geolocation in the background, I feel like that would be acceptable.

So excited for colors outside of sRGB! I make good use of display-p3, currently only supported in Safari, on https://ppg.report.

Flying my paramotor is one of the things I love to do in my free time, and this project (weather report for paramotor pilots) is the result of that!

I just really hope the onboarding experience is improved. Right now it's very convoluted and messaging is extremely difficult, in some places impossible.

For example, in SFSafariViewController there is no “add to home screen” button in the share menu, but in actual safari there is. Despite them both being web view experiences controlled entirely by Apple.

(And you can’t detect SFSafariViewController vs Safari as a web app, so good luck onboarding users for your PWA.)

The share button also has actions that vary unnecessarily.

Yeah you can get over that in a few months. It is annoying though during the process. I switched a year ago.

Ugh, Apple is guilty of this too in spotlight search. Actually worse, because it randomly changes after maybe 500ms, randomly, after typing a character, sometimes.

  N    -> OneNote.app
       -> Then (maybe) quickly changes to Notes
  No   -> Notes.app
       -> Then (maybe) changes to OneNote
  Not  -> OneNote.app
  Note -> Notes.app

the move from a persistent background.js script to a sevice-worker will just make a number of use-cases impossible or very hacky

Yep.

Chrome is even crippling some of their own APIs, like chrome.tabCapture (not available in service workers, and in mv3 will be "foreground only")

AKA, if you want to use chrome.tabCapture in mv3, you have to run it in a tab. And because that tab can be closed at any time, you need to serialize megabytes of data to the chrome.storage api every few seconds.

We already have electric powered busses, and they don’t have dirty and heavy batteries. It’s called a trolley bus.

Yup. This drunk driving detection is just a symptom of the larger problem: car dependency.

You don’t need alcohol detection in cars if everyone can just walk or bus safely to their neighborhood bar or friends. Virtually nobody wants to drive drunk, but it’s basically encouraged by the way we design our cities.

Because in this country the options are

1. Buy a car because it’s required in order to literally feed yourself, or

2. Live in one of the highly desirable, expensive pre-war neighborhoods that remain walkable

Many Americans can’t just “give up cars” even if they wanted to. Car dependency is literally codified in out zoning and street building (MUTCD)

Maybe if car dependency wasn’t such a requirement in order to live, maybe if everyone could easily walk to the bar, we wouldn’t need alcohol detection in cars.

It's extremely frustrating how Google is ignoring this issue. So much for developer relations.

Craigslist has an awesome UI. But I really wish they'd switch out their clunky JS-based gallery component for pure CSS scroll snapping!
