Instagram web is so bad that it’s the only logical explanation.
I have worked in the Instagram ios source. It is FUCKING AWFUL. They’re impressive in their business success given their code quality.

#42Apple and Google need to talk. They need to collaborate on something truly native to put an end to these bloated frameworks. My goodness the amount of engineering work being put into terrible mobile experiences is worse than how much Nasa is spending to look for water in space. Any mobile app designers out there think TikTok has good UX? I mean scrolling video is great, but everything else?
You wouldn't ask a doctor if she thinks crack is great, right?

#43Sadly I finally ditched my MacBook for a Linux PC since Expo/EAS has liberated me from needing Xcode. I won’t be able to try this out for iOS development.

#44Would be interested in using this if not for the lack of LLM support. Can you also explain what the advantages are over React Native?
I'm not even in the anti-LLM crowd, but that sentence made me shake my head in disgust

#45Got curious enough to wanting to give it a go, so on the quickstart page it says: > Lynx Explorer is a sandbox for trying out Lynx quickly. And then it asks me to use either the iOS Simulator or the Android Simulator, which based on experience, neither are made for anything resembling "quickly". Anyone know if there are any "pure-web" instructions around? Skimmed around the docs, website and repository but didn't fin…
It's not adb / avd or some device emulator. It's an app that you install on your device, and then it can load your app from your development device using a link. I was able to run it in 5 minutes without having android studio or any other android development kits on my laptop.

#47Are we intentionally reusing project names now? Lynx [1] is a fairly popular tui browser. I guess it doesn’t support ssl or tls, so is now obsolete? W3M [2] is a decent tui alternative that does. Or if you use kitty, awrit [3] is nice, with images and mouse support (it renders chromium in a terminal window) [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser) [2] https://w3m.sourceforge.net/ [3] https://github.com/…
I can't tell if this is satire or a hidden advertisement for various tui browsers? A project that is a "popular tui browser" (for the literally dozens of people that use tui browsers?) does not have ownership claim to the name of a big cat genus which has 4k+ other results on GitHub with the same name.

#48https://lynxjs.org/ doesn't scroll smoothly.
Flutter apps don't scroll at 30/60fps on my aging Mate 20 Pro, but that website is fine for me in Chrome.

#49I remember listening to a Syntax FM[0] with Zack Jackson from ByteDance, which mentioned this framework briefly. Some quotes and notes from that part of the podcast: - All ByteDance products, even native apps, are web-based - They have an in-house framework called "Lynx" which is essentially their version of React Native[1] - "All apps are Lynx apps. Everything is a Lynx app. It's all backed off the same stack." - Th…
