The problem is the OS zooming fights against pinch zooming that you may implement inside your webapp's logic, especially for non-static content (maps for example), multi-finger games where two touches don't signify a zoom, etc. They just broke the UX of a whole bunch of websites.
When will we ever have HTML5 apps that match native apps? When they actually let HTML5 apps do what native apps do, like multitouch without triggering a default action.
- hvdijk 6y agoNo, that's not the problem. Remember, developers are a minority, users are the majority, so making things work well for users takes priority over making things work well for developers. When functionality that's useful for webapps is misused for websites where it has no place and where it breaks the user experience, the only way to improve things for users is to make things harder for developers.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agodevelopers make the things the majority use, if you make things worse for developers they have a harder time making things that work well for the user, when that happens they will look to misuse functionality to improve things for their users. The only way to improve things for users is to make things easier for developers.
- hvdijk 6y agoThere are good developers who try to improve things for their users. There are also many developers who don't and ruin it for the rest.
