niklasmerz··on Caniwebview.com – Like Caniuse but for Webviews
This site is still in a very early stage and we are looking for support data right now.
niklasmerz··on Caniwebview.com – Like Caniuse but for Webviews
This is a good hint. We might want to add a better description on the site, too.
niklasmerz··on Caniwebview.com – Like Caniuse but for Webviews
Hi Niklas here. I'm the other Co-Chair of the W3C WebView Community group that built this site. We took heavy inspiration and code from caniemail.com and are still discussing and working on building up this site. It's a very early stage with very little content. If you want to help us feel free to check out the GitHub repository: https://github.com/WebView-CG/Compatibility-Data-Project

Thanks for the feedback. The site is in very early stage and we don't have a final design, yet. If you want to help us with CSS etc the code is open source at: https://github.com/WebView-CG/Compatibility-Data-Project

Thanks for the suggestion. Notifications is an important feature. I will open an issue to get this documented soon!

Thanks for the feedback! This is indeed something we discussed in the community group maintaining this site. We need have some definitions for WebViews and it's capabilities and are planning to put them on the site. There will be a glossary explaining everything at some point.

That's a great point! I have opened an issue for that and we will document it at some point. https://github.com/WebView-CG/Compatibility-Data-Project/iss...

niklasmerz··on An M1 for Curl
Same goes for Apache Cordova a framework for building mobile apps for Android and iOS. Apple knows a big chunk of apps in the App Store are using it.

You can only use it for iOS apps if you have Apple hardware. I am one of the maintainers and thankfully I got a Mac Mini donated as well when I lost my company Mac.

niklasmerz··on Show HN: I built a site that finds the cheapest place to buy a book
As a German I don't have to worry too much about the prices of books. We have Buchpreisbindung https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchpreisbindung
niklasmerz··on Removal of Heroku free product plans
First Netlify and now Heroku. I need to migrate some things which is very sad.
niklasmerz··on Private, organization-owned repository FAQ
I pay 9$ a month for analytics. With this change Netlify will probably loose me as a customer and I will migrate somewhere.
niklasmerz··on Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?
The fusion of DCS:World, MS Flight Simulator 2020 and ARMA 3
niklasmerz··on W3C Proposes the Creation of a WebView Community Group
WKWebView is open source but apple can always decide to change APIs and break apps. Happened before with their tracking prevention.
niklasmerz··on W3C Proposes the Creation of a WebView Community Group
Very interesting. As one of the maintainer of Cordova I am looking forward to see what happens there.
niklasmerz··on Please make a dumb car
That's exactly why I love my ten year old BMW 1 series as someone who works with computers all day. It's not that old that it's terribly unreliable, ugly and drives bad. It's just a modern car with no extras and awesome driving performance. No screens besides two, small, orange LCDs, analogue gauges, a stick shift, a big not too powerful engine for such a small car and the best steering I ever experienced.

My mountain bike is even better. Nothing electronic at all and only mechanical things I can fix myself. I love working on it more than on code sometimes.

Exactly what I need for my own small Git workshop
