I was using it but it was very unreliable in my experience. The PWA app you can install on your phone would work for a few days and just appear to stop working until you reinstalled it. Then with Mozilla firing devs including the devs who work on their core product (Firefox/Browser Engine) and then spinning WebThings out into it's own thing, I have decided to stop using it because I don't believe it has much of a future because the management appears to have gone off the rails.
I will reevaluate it in a year, if it still exists, because it's actually a pretty nice platform to use.
- dblohm7 6y ago> including the devs who work on their core product (Firefox/Browser Engine) Ummm, no, in general those were the devs who weren’t laid off. (I am a Mozilla employee)
- bigums 6y agoDidn’t the Firefox DevTools team get pretty hard with layoffs?
- dblohm7 6y agoThey did, unfortunately. But the rest of the Firefox group was left mostly intact.
- lloydatkinson 6y agoI consider the Rust based browser engine a core part of that, and they were fired, so my statement isn't incorrect.
- dblohm7 6y agoOrganizationally they were part of the Emerging Technologies Group, not the Firefox Group. And contrary to popular belief, there were no plans to replace Gecko with Servo wholesale, so I don’t really think it is accurate to think of it as “core” to Firefox.
