OK - I didn't want to be 'that guy', but here I go: DevRant is garbage! I like the concept, but the execution is a marketing black hole.
First of all: the linked page doesn't scroll on an iPad - they are trying to be clever with scrolling and it actually breaks scrolling.
Secondly: they take pushing their app to an insane level: none of the links works, they all point to 'Get the app'. This fact alone has just gained the site a place in my DNS blackhole.
Archive.org link - that actually works better than the original site: https://web.archive.org/web/20210420050504/https://devrant.com/rants/4186069/dev-my-neighbours-have-so-many-fucking-iot-devices-that-they-basically-fuck-over https://web.archive.org/web/20210420050504/https://devrant.c...
- arjonagelhout 5y ago> Secondly: they take pushing their app to an insane level: none of the links works, they all point to 'Get the app'. I agree. Its “use our app”-push is similar to Twitter or Instagram, but these platforms offer a lot of functionality in their apps. Devrant on the other hand, seems to be quite simple in functionality. Why would I need to download an app for that?

- arthur2e5 5y agoJust use the Web Notifications API! Maybe also act like some obnoxious "captchas" and actually check whether you got the permissions to nag you later or give you some flair reward.
