@rachel @codepo8 “I see you’re attempting to light your app on fire, would you like help with that?”

@rachel @codepo8 or was it “Do you need help with that?” 🤔

@rachel @codepo8 window.onerror = () => alert("Error! Please press and hold the power button for at least ten seconds and try again.");

@NeoTheThird @codepo8 that sounds about right!

@codepo8 cursor:default would help a lot.

@codepo8 Although wouldn’t that just close the window as soon as it’s interpreted (or is that the point)? 🙃

@bluematt @codepo8 That should be the behavior of any app. Computers were a mistake.

@codepo8 Been my dream since the last decade! Alas, screen readers are so inconsistent with the implementation. I know the issue you brought up is different, but it made me think of "web apps should act like desktop apps" as far as #a11y goes!

This closes the window much sooner than you were expecting.

@codepo8 Use Safari, it seems to be the default there 😔
