If you built a macOS desktop app that makes notification sounds even when the machine is in "Do Not Disturb" focus mode you should feel very bad about what you have done

(My laptop made two mysterious ping noises during the online talk I gave this morning)

@simon never trust an app that isn't a web app.

@ian @simon it was probably a web app that made the DND-ignorant noise 😕

@numist @simon that's a browser bug.

@ian @simon hmm, is Electron a browser? 
Show threadIan McKellar
@numist @simon If it's Electron it's not a web app. It's a desktop app that uses HTML. A Swift app that calls https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsattributedstring/1525953-init isn't a web app either.
init(html:documentAttributes:) | Apple Developer Documentation

Creates an attributed string from the HTML in the specified data object.

@ian @numist @simon It runs in a self-contained web browser so that seems like a web app to me
