I find it really off putting when a company tries to push me to their app especially when I know the claimed benefts are possible from the website.
I've never been clear if they believe that the app makes the user more engaged or if more engaged users seek out the app.
@slightlyoff Might it be an ulterior motive rather than ignorance of CSS? I know of product managers who believe app users are more engaged than web users.
@mdn Do you know of any devices that configure themselves as slow? None of the browsers I've tested on e-ink androids do and my kindle can't properly load the MDN article to try the demo.

I posted on my work blog about how Safari has a larger long tail of users on old versions than other web browsers. This was in the context of the UK CMA asking for evidence of harm from mobile gatekeepers.

@db media queries were an interop 2026 proposal. Let's hope it makes it next year or is implemented outside of that process.

@db I remember when people used Macs for the software despite the hardware.

Now they use Macs for the hardware despite the software.

Is dialog closedby a bit broken on touchscreens?

I use them for the options and links buttons on this little project.

It works as expected on mouse devices.

On Android Chrome and Android Firefox tapping on the backdrop activates the element beneath. So if you tap `options` and then without moving your finger tap again to dismiss it, it doesn't dismiss.

It doesn't work at all on iPhone Safari as that doesn't support the closedby attribute.

To get the photos out of a brewdog photo booth video run this command:

ffmpeg -i Your\ Content.mp4 -vf fps=2 frame_%04d.jpg

This is largely a reminder for future me.

I reported a bug to Mozilla, and the team quickly triaged and fixed it. The code change was made within a week. I'm very impressed.
