Punch nazis, trebuchet TERFs.

I am building Voyager, a client for lemmy!

Posted from my 2m aliexpress usb-c cable running at 40gbps
Awesome thanks!
What version of Voyager? You can check in Settings -> About

And please do feature detection

I’m not sure how you’d do that with safe area insets. You could check for zero but some modern devices megitimately have zero safe area insets. Capacitor itself has to check Blink version for the SystemBars plugin.

But the app works fine with a “too old” webview. Why warn about it?

If you go into dark mode the status bar will be white with white text, because safe area doesn’t work properly.

And or tauri
You dont need the Android System Webview in particular. Android supports alt webviews. The important part is to make sure its based on Blink 140 or newer (haven’t tested other engines).

Gotta keep your webview up to date! There’s alternatives as described in the comments but yeah, having a version of Chromium older than a year old is pretty dangerous/insecure.

I think most ‘normal’ android users never really think about it because Google keeps their webview up to date automatically, but if you dont use Play Store this can be easily overlooked. Really important for device security though.

Edit: As for why Voyager requires System WebView >= 140… Android recently overhauled safe area insets and their rollout was kinda botched with poor backward compatibility. This is a side affect unfortunately.

Using pop/cosmic here, is awesome!

Why aren’t people moving away from Github?

I write open source software because it’s fun, and I publish on Github because it gives me a stronger professional profile.

So yeah for me it’s the potential difference between putting food on the table or not. Github stars suck for many reasons but they do help you stand out.

Pop/cosmic let’s go!
