    I am using this api for music player[0] in the browser. Biggest share of my users are using Chromebooks, where besides Android apps are not much alternatives. If this API was not a…

    In our projects we use Moon https://moonrepo.dev/moon extensively, it supports multiple languages and quite a few features. For me personally I like that it updates Typescript refe…

    I agree somewhat, but what about poorer regions of the world like parts of Africa or Asia, what is the solution for them? Most of the people there would not or could not pay for ev…

    Maximising profits and being sustainable are 2 different things. Museums do not need to make money because they are funded externally. It is like saying artists do not need to make…

    Web needs to make money. Giving tools to advertisers while making sure user privacy is preserved is better than free reign of tracking we have before, no? I myself do not like ads …

    Just go to home page https://wpt.fyi/ see chart "Browser-specific failures are the number of WPT tests which fail in exactly one browser." Safari leads by a longshot with over 3800…

    Semi related, I was suprised just how many bugs Safari has with animation timing while using Web Animation API. You can't possibly feature detect that, Motion one lib even disables…

    From my experience, if things work in Chrome, they will likely work with Firefox too, excluding very new apis, it isn't much of maitenance burden. With Safari every project I work …

    WhatsApp always comes up in comparison to Twitter, but they are fundamentally different. WhatsApp is mostly one on one interaction, while Twitter potentially allows every user to i…

    You clearly never looked into how much tracking mobile apps have. There are a lot of tracking SDKs which literally track every click. At least on the web you can block things where…

    I like JSX too, it allows multiple composable components in the same file, but Sveltekit support for typescript has been amazing so far, the whole framework has been written with t…

    It was very slow before, but browsers improved performance a lot, multiple frameworks use proxies for their reactive primitives under the hood, Vue, Mobx and so on. SolidJS is one …

    You can use fetch polyfill which woyld be better choice since its easier to remove polyfill than refactor your whole site once you don't need to support those old browsers anymore.…

    It is a fork, but that was really long time ago, most parts of both engines were completely rewritten so for all intents and purposes these are completely different engines.

    Writing new library and expecting people to actually use it without providing types is not realistic. You can write library in JS, but you will still need to provide types, since t…
