- janesconference 8y agoFor now, yes. But, since the app is based on a standard spec, other browser will hopefully support Web Audio Worklets soon. > — Please note that the app runs only on Chrome > v66, for > now, because Chrome is the only browser implementing the > Audio Worklet[1] spec.

- bzbarsky 8y agoJust to be clear, Audio Worklet is not "a standard spec". It's an earlyish-stage spec proposal which might well change as it goes through the standardization process.
- janesconference 8y agoAbsolutely - see my answer here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17610784 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17610784
- arendtio 8y agoYeah, 'It seems you're trying to run the editor with an old or unsupported browser' is kinda odd given it just runs on Chrome...
- janesconference 8y agoAs soon as browser support the standard, the message will be shown less and less. Chrome was an early adopter, but Audio Worklets are part of a W3C working draft, which is the de facto standard for web audio: https://www.w3.org/TR/webaudio/ https://www.w3.org/TR/webaudio/
- lloeki 8y agoQualifying browsers that don't follow an early adopter in implementing a working draft of being "old" is kind of odd and disparaging. A simple message like "Sadly your browser does not seem to support spec foo yet, but you can try one of those: browser X v>42, Y, Z".
- dkersten 8y agoThere’s an “or” in that sentence: “old or unsupported browser”
- giancarlostoro 8y agoThe term unsupported browser sounds like it's intentionally only for Chrome.
- janesconference 8y agoThat's true, that's inaccurate. I'll change the message with the next deploy.
- dkersten 8y agoI’m not saying that the message sounded good, I’m just saying that it’s technically accurate. Other browsers don’t support the bleeding edge features the site needs and therefore they’re unsupported.
- te_chris 8y agoNitpicking cool projects is also pretty disparaging.
- janesconference 8y agoSorry if I hurt any browser's sensibility. Hope no browser was offended by my app :) However, I didn't refer to "browsers that don't follow an early adopter in implementing a working draft" as "old", though; if you read the compatibility message carefully, you'll find I referred to them as "unsupported" (which might be a bit inexact but not disparaging). Non-evergreen browsers, instead, are correctly referred to as "old", because they are.
