Dexie.js (a wrapper for IndexDB) just stopped working on all browsers running on iOS 10.3.1 (apparently a webkit bug). Lesson: always test cross-browser before

  Seems like the lesson should be extended to something like: Always test cross-browser before commiting to a js library, after you have committed to it, and on every browser or js library update.

    Yes. But it also seems like the browser based model continues to be flaw. One application (i.e., browser) makes a single update and EVERYONE downstream now needs to retest? And Perhaps significantly refactor? This is a MAJOR UX violation. If you were going to by a car and you were told that's how it works you'd never buy that make/model. We keep getting by on the ignorance of end-user. That's not a positive. I'm not sure what the details of the answer is. But I do know that accepting the status quo is no longer acceptable. The first step to solving a problem is to admit you have one. Step 2 is to make sure you identify the right problem. We have a problem, yes?
