Italy does the same: https://github.com/pagopa/io-app This is the official government app (you can get benefits, pay taxes, etc...), downloaded by 30+ million citizens, stack is React Native + Typescript
maybe EU countries could save a bundle and co-develop these apps. might also improve quality / ensure best practises are available to all etc.

Imagine a single European rail service (not Euro rail where you can buy a single ticket that will make you take Dutch train, and then connect on a German train, and then on an Austrian train, and if you miss a connection, good luck figuring out your replacement..)

Is this literate programming?
It's been extensively discussed on twitter, and the general conclusion seems to be that yes, this particular snippet is good code.

I find the DigiD app to be one of the most annoying implementations of 2FA out there. You have to unlock the app with a pin code, then enter an app-generated code on the site, then scan a QR with the app, and then grant permission to login to that site. If you compare that to 2FA for Office 365 for example, where you just have a push notification where you press a button to allow, then you can't help but think that s…
I think the only part that can reasonably be simplified without compromising security is to use a push notification instead of having to scan the QR-code.

Even if this is done under the umbrella of an EU institution, the politics work the same way except now every other country is trying all kinds of maneuvers in an attempts to retain as much of the control as possible.

Wow, looks pretty nice from the screenshots. Do you have experience using it? Does it work well/do what it claims? I recently moved to Spain, who has a digital identity system, but is a pretty disjointed attempt.

This is the baffling side of the EU to all outsiders/newcomers. When I first moved here, that was my first thought as well. There is just so much in common, why repeat everything everywhere instead of single effort with branches everywhere?! (police force, consular services, Identity services, and pretty much any Government paperwork one can think of, transportation services etc). However, the population is very loca…
in general the EU strategy has been to agree common rules and standards. But there are also examples of common infrastructure, e.g. the Euro bills
it will be interesting to see how this might develop for software related to public institutions

The only thing that jumps out at me is this: if (percentage == 0) return […]; if (percentage > 0.0 && […] Can a double have a value that is larger than 0 but smaller or equal to 0.0? I would have expected '> 0' instead.
In any language I can think of, 0 and 0.0 are the same, once you're comparing them against a double.
Nevertheless integer comparisons with any kind of floating point is not a wise choice.
The idiomatic way to compare a double would be to take into account whatever is the double precision epsilon for that language. Or just use the greater/less than like they have in the subsequent if statements in the original code snippet.

People don't generally read it when their phone apps send them a "please login" notification after the 200th one that day, they tend to approve it without thinking (or worse, accidentally approve a phishing notification while trying to login), especially when busy, which results in them letting phishers onto their device.
The DigiD login flow is a bit of a mess, but it seems very well designed to avoid that particular tendency. The entire process requires active involvement from the end-user, which means they'll be paying attention on whether it's them logging in or not.
