Interesting! So does safari have different storage rules depending on where the web app is accessed from? Are there docs detailing what else might operate differently? I wonder how many web devs test their apps under the different constrain

I will add that I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to turn the web app I initially had into a mobile app with Ionic.

Who controls the unencrypted video?

What’s the purpose? You still need a centralised store for your unencrypted video. Why would this be preferable to having a database?

I've been using this approach for my blog and I've been loving it :) Seems like Google Docs for blogs is a bit of a golden ticket to the front page on hackernews ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23134101 ). I&

I disagree with this. I’d like to take a step back and even ask what a bad emotion really even means? That sounds a bit hand wavy. I like to get endorphins. I like that the field I chose as a career can give me that when I feel like I did s

I'm very excited for the multi gesture track pad support. It's such a small change but I just haven't been able to find good support for this outside of Mac OS. I'm tempted to install this version the second they hit the

I don't like to call myself a software engineer just because of how contentious the term is. But I will admit that I do feel somewhat more precise at my current job than I was at my previous. I used to work in an agency and we would

I kept reading waiting for the author to address man in the middle attacks but no mention. This adds no additional security. You can easily provide your own keys or JavaScript and completely bypass this. Like others have suggested, I get th

What a wonderful resource! Thanks for documenting this. I should probably follow your example and do the same.

Totally get this from a business perspective but speaking for myself, I was actually far more interested in seeing the new chip in the iPad. I have no doubt that the iPhone 12 will be another confident black rectangle. Having usb c and the

Feels so smooth on my iPhone. I’m aware these phones have pretty killer SOCs but I couldn’t have imagined running this on something that fits in my pocket 15 years ago.

For mindless browsing when you’re trying to fill a few minutes, I’m quite a fan of Mix [1]. I believe this used to be stumbleupon. You simply enter your interests and it keeps suggesting related content. [1] https://community.mix

Thanks! That was actually my inspiration. I probably should have mentioned it but I tried to keep this post pretty free form while I was working on this so I didn't heavily editorialise it.

The alternative is to hook into the Google Docs API which gives you a more structured response which you can then self style. Exporting HTML was the easy way out for me. I haven’t investigated the accessibility impact but the file sizes are

Another solution that I explored a bit was using the google docs api. It returns a Json structure of the doc. I just used the drive export as a shortcut but you could totally create something neater with the drive api.

Hah fortunately those secrets were never actually in use. I just did the unspeakable and quickly rebased master to update that though so thanks for that! I wasn't planning on sharing the code at first so I probably didn't give it

That’s left entirely to the developer to decide. You can intercept your network requests with a service worker and decide what to do from there [1]. [1] https://livebook.manning.com/book/progressive-web-apps/chapt.
