I wish they had said why that is, or created GH issues to draw focus to the problems. I also wonder if they mean quite literally only Google Chrome or they mean Blink-driven browsers like Edge et al because Firefox and/or Safari are missing some dragy-droppy something-or-other
- woah 3y agoAs important as browser compatibility is, this appears to be an academic project by a postdoc, funded by the NSF, and the grant probably didn't cover it.
- mdaniel 3y agoThat may be, but how much grant money does it take to keep typing in the readme that said "you have to use Google Chrome because ..." I'm open to them not knowing how to do things cross-browser because that's almost an entire specialization, but no one can help them to fix problems if they're not enumerated. And the person best positioned to enumerate such problems are the persons who were in the weeds of the project, viewing the errors or getting frustrated when $foo didn't $bar on Firefox when they tried it
- 3np 3y agoThey never said other browsers have problems, just that they aren't supported. Which would also imply that the hypothetical issues might be best opened in a fork. If you want to see support for other browsers, you could consider offering your assistance?
