As usual, I’m chipping away at my highbrow app for readers and writers. It’s an authoritative dictionary, a reverse dictionary, a spaced repetition system for vocabulary building, an e-book reader, and now a portal to Wikipedia.
I dare say it’s one of the most polished PWAs in existence, especially on iOS. Nevertheless, I’m experimenting with a Capacitor build, because most customers and visitors use the app on iPhone, but few are aware of Safari’s “Add to Home Screen” feature, so they miss out on the optimal UX. Also, the app could use the exposure and user trust of the App Store, as well as flourishes (pun intended) that Apple does not extend to PWAs, like haptics and a Liquid Glass icon.

- the_florist 2mo agoThe pot calling the kettle black, methinks. http://flowery.app/words/I%20dare%20say http://flowery.app/words/I%20dare%20say Dictionaries accept both forms, but the two-word phrase predates “daresay,” originating in the 14th century according to the OED.
- magarnicle 2mo agoInteresting. A few previously two-word phrases have turned into one-word phrases over the years, this must be one of them.
