Looks awesome!

While the visualization is cool, I hope some of these will remain "not found" indefinitely. Just because we can stick everything into a web-spec, doesn't mean we should.

Me too. Device orientation, USB, Bluetooth, vibration, they don't belong in a web app.

Sometimes, it's about what you take away. Good design is not when there's nothing more to add, but when there's nothing more to take away.

But very cool site. And I definitely think Safari should have some of these! It's a bit cruel on them! Hahaha! :)

Even something as simple as auto-focus on a form field on page load... imagine that your keyboard jumps up and takes up half of your screen space, just because a web-dev wanted you to be able to "immediately input your name". I'm actually quite happy that my iPhone doesn't shove a keyboard in my face "for my convenience of being able to input text immediately".

Immense disappointment that I opened up the site on my iPhone's Safari and it renders perfectly fine.

I agree with you. Notifications is another “feature” I just want to stay out of my browser. To that extent, I actually don’t mind Safari on iOS being deliberately slow to adopt some of the more intrusive standards.
