My understanding is that the main limitation is technical. WASM doens't do GC or the host system calling conventions and cannot interact directly with object from Javascript because of this. However, this is being worked[0] on and will

No, I meant more as in haven’t tried it myself. Plenty of folks have done similar things with C and C++, I’m not sure if anyone has done it with Rust yet. Certainly more difficult than Flutter or RN, but if truly native UI is a goal I think
245.
by K0nserv 4y ago
I think Rust is one of the most promising languages for such a shared layer. Can also be used on the web via WASM. This enables native UI with shared business logic. Kotlin Native is another option that still allows native UI on the iOS sid

Yes, AFAIK. Flutter web is pretty terrible, especially for any form of accessibility

With the mouse wheel/trackpad. Flutter Web doesn't actually generate proper DOM, instead it renders things (mostly) from scratch, hence no scroll bars.

Indeed, hence "on compliant websites". I wish the EU's enforcement wasn't so lacklustre. Would be interesting if they hired 2-3 reverse engineers and had them go down Alexa top 10k and verify that consent banners are im

Websites aren’t allowed to start collecting data until the user has made an active choice. Thus, removing the DOM elements should be enough, on compliant websites. There should be no need to reject

Yeah, Kotlin multiplatform is the most promising cross platform solution because it explicit leaves the UI fully native. With Rust you'd leverage C based FFI(with a layer to communicate with Swift and Kotlin), it's not the most st

I first heard this phrase applied to Haskell. Both Haskell and Rust have sophisticated type systems, Haskell more-so than Rust. With a sophisticated type system, you can accurately encode the rules of your domain in the types and thus, when

You have to introduce ordering in your KPIs. If developer experience is more important, then you can get better results with cross platform. If user experience is more important, then you are virtually guaranteed to get better results with

I wrote a comment[0] about this in one of the other threads on this topic, but it bears repeating. Apple started working on a solution to this problem in 2020, called App-Bound Domains[2]. I always expected them to make this mandatory inste

Apple started moving in this direction in 2020 with the introduction of App-Bound Domains[0]. These are currently opt in but I have always expected that, just like with the HTTPs adoption, they'll start enforcing this more strictly. Wi

I wrote[0] something similar to the first part of this post a while back for one of the AoC 2019 puzzles. However, it didn't strike me that you can represent each frame as a set and use the difference to figure out the resulting render

gov.uk is the quintessential example, but I'm not sure it meets the bar for "popular". Sure, lots of people use it, but that's because they have to. I don't rely on accessibility tools myself(outside of Vimium for k

You make it sound like the only resolver available is Google's in which case there might be some merit to your comment. In reality you can pick from many resolver's to fit ones preferences, making your point moot. Even if the defa

Only major browser not to support it? Firefox doesn’t either and every other browser just does so because they all use the same engine. A better characterisation of the situation might be: “Web Bluetooth is a non-standard feature supported

Not sure about the non-security expert bit but I've done stuff[0] similar to this for iOS using Frida[1] which supports macOS too. For apps that use unpinned certificates and the builtin networking libraries(NSURLSession et.al.) you ca

As bad as the situation already is(and it's bad) the lack of action on Valve's side is particularly depressing. People invest a significant amount of money into their steam accounts(by purchasing skins and games) and targetting fo

I think my statement is truthful, albeit harsh. I don't believe there are many designers who are interested in creating experiences with poor usability, thus my point about ignorance and not understanding the tradeoff they are making.

by K0nserv 5y ago
It's not that it isn't an extreme position, but I think you are right that many(most?) designers don't appreciate the usability tradeoffs they are requesting in doing so. Most designer I've had this discussion with have

You don’t have to style the select. If you are being forced to, your designers are either incompetent or ignorant. Aesthetics shouldn’t trump usability

I think the analogy with the Pirate Bay actually holds up pretty well. In the end bidding on Open Sea results in a contract method being called on the blockchain which transfers the actual ownership. Sure, just like the music/film indu
