    Yep - the site has a point of view but rooted in real data that you can filter as you'd like. I've had real-world experiences where I develop something that works on my Mac and my …

    Hi! Creator here (of iOS404) - you can filter level of standard and compare to FF Android (or compare to Safari Desktop, or any mix) instead if you'd like.

    FF Update: Gecko based Firefox isn’t as performant as WebKit/Chromium on desktop/mobile devices when it comes to some canvas operations (even on offscreen!). I was able to greatly …

    Update: Think I have found a way to speed it up for Firefox (and everyone else too!). On holiday with the fam so might take a couple days before I push a fix. I'm optimistic though…

    Downloads are really clunky in SFSVC. You can do them, but it takes like 3 actions compared to iOS Safari. I've gotten lots of complaints on another site I have that does on-the-fl…

    You can download as SVG! There is a screenshot JPG, fold + cut template PDF, and simple shape SVG download on the site.

    Oh wow both Orion + Arc on iOS have the same UA as Safari and are testing positive for SFSafariViewController (an experimental test). I'll look into other ways to not confuse SFSVC…

    I'll take a look, thanks for the heads-up!

    I'll take a look. Perhaps my inapp detection is throwing false positives. I also detect for SFSafariViewController because of the bad UX downloading experience there. Maybe it is c…

    Hi Diti, are you talking about the inapp link to Safari? If so - it's the only reliable escape link for ios. It should work on other WebKit browsers as well but no reliable inapp e…

    Thanks @Liftyee! Yeah Firefox seems to lag behind on the site compared to WebKit or Chromium browsers. Hopefully I can optimize it more for Firefox.

    Cool, I didn't know that could happen! I started with 12 sections (or 6 lobes/mirrored sections) then wanted to play around with more section numbers without having to redraw. I th…

    Hmmm odd. Works on my machine (of course!). It's a static site hosted on S3 - I'd be surprised if it is experiencing an overload issue. Will need to investigate what's happening fo…

    Thanks! Yes, great idea. Definitely will want to make that clearer!

    Lol - can't say it didn't cross my mind to use tech that wouldn't work on iOS :)
