cvan··on 2023 WebMD Wrapped
I'm more looking forward to my 2023 WebMIDI Wrapped.
cvan··on YouTube slows down video load times when using Firefox
garbage. just use invidious.io as a mirror. +1 to privacy. +1 to minimal javascript.
cvan··on Ask HN: How would you introduce kids to web dev?
Introduce them to https://neocities.org and https://csszengarden.com to have fun whilst learning good ol' HTML and CSS.
cvan··on WebXR
On iOS, go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Experimental Features. (Or on macOS desktop, from the Develop menu.)

Scroll to the bottom of the list.

There are 4 WebXR APIs behind a flag.

Why waste precious WebKit resources on implementing WebXR APIs in Apple's browser engine… if WebXR will hypothetically never be shipped to Safari stable?

cvan··on Show HN: Potbox – A premium cannabis subscription club
Agreed, it leaves a lot to be desired. I'd recommend removing the "smooth scrolling" completely.
cvan··on How to Center in CSS
write using modern/stable flexbox syntax and use autoprefixer for older browsers: https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer
cvan··on Show HN: A database for browsing and discovering movies
very pretty and usable design. found some decent films already. overall, great execution – compared to similar services I've used.

I like that it works on mobile too, but why does the page need to be reloaded when I resize the browser width? upon resizing, I lost my scroll position and I noticed the text all became red at tablet-ish width.

cvan··on Show HN: Disco – Easy GitHub Browsing
Nice concept :) Agree with shk re: keyboard navigation. Also, images don't seem to be working in diffs.
cvan··on Helium.co: Connect devices to the web without Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or Cellular
Even when the form was valid, it didn't work for me (checked in both Chrome and Firefox). I had to manually remove the `disabled` attribute on the submit button to post the form.
cvan··on "Chrome-style" Desktop Apps that work today in Firefox
http://f.cl.ly/items/3Y203B2A3f0r3Y221T3j/appz.png

If you install the app from its detail page, there is a message telling you where the app now lives. The "Free" install button becomes a "Launch" button that opens the actual executable.

On the search results pages, we don't add any messaging. I've filed an enhancement bug to consider exposing this to users: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=913728
