Thanks for your insight

I'm swayed by your internal accounting that internal politics and bureaucracy could have been the main cause behind the lagging feature set of Safari, but do you think that it could also be a downstream consequence of browser functiona
843.
by h0l0cube 4y ago
Okay then. Can you make an argument as to why a browser can't provide a native-like experience? (Aside from perverse motivations.)

by h0l0cube 4y ago
Lots of platforms have exceeded their original use cases. It’s like saying *nix wasn’t designed to host desktop GUIs, so we should make a whole new operating system to afford that purpose.

Another note to the author if they see this. I don’t find the logo offensive like the sibling commenters. I love the creative process and wasted days making logos which other people found unpalatable. People have visceral responses to logos
851.
by h0l0cube 4y ago
Some constructive advice to the author, if they're lurking: "Good" logos economize on details to maximize impression and versatility. Use fewer and simpler shapes to communicate better. Or maybe let an AI tool have at it?

It just might not be worth doing until browser vendors have a consistent renderer across all platforms (true for Firefox and Chrome) and until Apple loses its leverage. It might also be that it requires coordination and cooperation across

by h0l0cube 4y ago
I think we need all the things you mention in that comment, and much, if not all, are dependent on the rendering engine internals to implement. e.g., Firefox iOS couldn’t fix it without changes to WebKit

Better integration with OS features on iOS devices is still an upshot for people who want websites to do more useful things with their phones, if that becomes a possibility. Might not balance out the cost of having a browser hegemony, and

It's not so much Safari compatibility, but WebKit compatibility. Anyone who wants their website to work on iOS has to test against mobile WebKit, regardless if their target users are on Chrome or Firefox. If these legislative changes

Got it, thanks! If I understand correctly, HRVs have always been suitable for both warm and cold climates. Modern ERVs are becoming more suitable for cold climates with frost protection.
