What message would you use on the landing page?
But of course this is Show HN material so still totally experimental.
Under the hood there's only one WKWebview and that makes it feel surprinsingly I have to admit slightly faster.
Of course; this is all very experimental for now.
PS: that's the whole point of a Show HN :-)
I built dazzle with Antoine out of the frustration of having to use tabs on mobile. We wanted to explore a shared history/tabs mechanism that we expected to be particularly adapted to mobile usage.
After a few months of dog fooding we felt like it was time to share it publicly even if it's still a bit rough on the edges (and very experimental really).
Hope you have fun trying it, feedback welcome and encouraged.
We might add a force touch menu for reload, forward / back and share which is important if only for app "actions".
I'll also start by saying that I use less and less my mobile web browser since:
- many apps (like Facebook) do embed webviews that are now really powerful.
- I use the Gmail app for email, and a native app for most communication interactions (Slack, iMessage, Discord, etc...)
But yet I do often end-up using a web browser on my mobile pretty often (at least a couple times a day, if only to check HN or interact with Github) and I'm amazed how useless are tabs for me and how hard it is to find back content that I visited earlier. These are the two main pain points that I focused on initially and tried to solve with that first proof of concept.
Would love feedback on the model and ideas of where it could be made useful!
I myself have been hacking on a payment related project which is also in "show" right now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13446587
Would love to get your feels as you've been thinking about machine-machine transactions quite a lot obviously.
Happy to discuss more over email as well.
> It reminds me of the US before the introduction of the FED in 1913, each bank "issued" its own currency. Money was exchanged with a discount, as an example a bank in Chicago could accept money from JP Morgan in New York at a 50% discount. There were a lot of financial crisis, mostly because money was not elastic enough and the interest rates would skyrocket when everyone was asking money, which ruined mostly farmers. It does not apply direclty to Settle (anyone can issue IOUs) but it's probably worth looking into this"
Found it quite interesting, and worth sharing it here as well.
He also mentioned that it does not necessarily apply to Settle (anyone can issue assets not necessarily banks) but I figured it was interesting enough to share it here.

It'll behave as expected if you're familiar with the connect `application_fee`.

Thanks for the feedback and hope you'll make good use of it. Let us know how we can help with anything help!
Running firefox as well and indeed they run a bit slow. Mea culpa. I'll let the right person know!
Relay is a way for merchants to route products to channels. We certainly don't want to replace Shopify (with whom we're pretty close) but just give merchants an easy way to expose product information to apps and accepts orders directly from there. In particular, Relay will not provide you with store front, or complex shipping and taxes calculations and integrations.
Ideally Relay should work seamlessly with Shopify, and Shopify users should be able to start selling on Twitter and other apps directly from Shopify through Relay without even necessarily hearing the name Relay (as it is ~the case with their payments currently processed by us)
Indeed there is no way to do so at the moment. But we have that on our radar and we'd like to construct something that makes sense for apps and sellers.
Some questions related to that: How would you see it working? Isn't ads the new affiliation in the app world?
re Payments/Processor: So that's where it gets interesting. We have constructed for Pinterest a full payment distribution infrastructure to send payment information securely to large retailers or their processors. This infrastructure will also be used by Relay. Doing so, we believe we bring a ton of value to the ecosystem. But I'm sure you agree with that given your focus!
