> We highly recommend using Chrome! Er... what does this mean? Firefox is not supported? If so, the author should just say that.

Ah, yes, the web: Infinitely cross platform and portable, except "this website will only work if you run the js with this specific js interpreter, and also we dont know how to do css so we used very platform specific css, and also our html is not complaint but Chrome doesn't care, and also... but its cross platform. Its the web, it runs anywhere!"

this 100%

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Firefox is the libre alternative struggling to compete with the Google behemoth which adds things to its browser even faster than they appear in the standard. Safari is the underfunded child of a corporation as wealthy as Google. It is mainly the first that motivates web developer solidarity.

Its struggling in part because it decided it needed to do a bunch of non browser things.

Firefox isn't really making enough in donations to maintain a major piece of web infrastructure. So it gets search revenue from Google, which people complain about (and may not be long term sustainable). So they go make other paid for things looking for revenue, which people complain about.

This isn’t a very scathing point when it comes to hobby projects where someone has limited time to test in multiple configurations, so they recommend the one they use when they developed it.

They chose to publicize their hobby project and put it in front of a bunch of people it doesn't work for, they can expect criticism from people doesn't work for.

Hey guys! Creator of the non-website here. Thank you all very much for the feedback.

This thing that is clearly NOT a website was initially done for a hackathon and I never expected it to get more than 5-6 users.

It's so amazing and a bit stressful, because I want to offer a great experience at the same time!! Today I tried to make it compatible on phone too mobile users. Hadn't too much time to test it out but I'm on the lookout for bugs.

I also found this post randomly, I was trying to find out why did Vercel sent me an email at 4 AM that I am using 100% of the free plan data LOL. I had to upgrade to pro.

Thanks to everyone for trying out this scuffed thing (which is NOT a website!!) haha. I had a deadline and only 26h left to create it, never knew it will get this many users!

Much love, Andrei.
