I can't easily link to it because it's still live streaming but at 4:10 in they seem to be debugging a local internet/HTML error on their iPads. Next level debugging in production.
- samkater 6y agoI just had to go find that for myself! Here's the link to 4:10:45 when they start talking about it - https://youtu.be/13OkD0C_TWU?t=15045 https://youtu.be/13OkD0C_TWU?t=15045
- TeMPOraL 6y agoRelated, I wonder if there's going to be a postmortem on this mission on the UI, because from the brief scenes when its shown updating or being clicked on, it looks to have a responsiveness on the order of half a second.
- m0xte 6y agoThink it’s Electron. Doesn’t surprise me. I wouldn’t want to take slack into space with me.
- madeofpalk 6y agoI'm fairly certain there's no Electron on iPad (can't take Chrome to iPad). I also don't think that a native wrapper app that loads (local) html files would display a "Safari" error message. It was probably just a cached/saved website saved to the home screen. I'm not a rocket scientist, but as a web developer, I would rely upon that for anything earth-bound, let alone in Space.

- madeofpalk 6y agowould NOT. Yikes.
- evv 6y agoIt is reportedly Chromium-based, not quite electron. UI is HTML with web components. Lots more details here: https://old.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/gxb7j1/we_are_the_spacex_software_team_ask_us_anything/ https://old.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/gxb7j1/we_are_the_s...
- zaroth 6y agoJust to clarify, the error they were seeing was in an app running on an actual portable iPad they carry, not the main screens mounted in front of the seats.
- martyvis 6y agoI love how the ground personnel are checking that that iPad is in "airplane mode". The Dragon isn't an airplane so that might be their problem. ;-)
