So my little handmade web browser got the most wonderful feature on Daring Fireball over the weekend.
Still hungover from the euphoria, and overwhelmed with gratitude for all the messages of encouragement from so many new users.
Maybe there's still a future for user-funded handcrafted apps.
A slow motion sneak peek of what's (finally) coming to Quiche Browser:
• Swipe up to see all tabs.
• Slide on the toolbar to move between tabs.
• Tabs move, grow, and shrink in an organic way.
• The interface always responds to taps and gestures, even during transitions.
These last two are the same design principles behind the app switcher on iOS, and applying them to Quiche Browser should make it feel a lot more natural and smooth to use.
One of the many reasons I made Quiche Browser was to get a per-website JavaScript kill switch in my toolbar.
But these days I'm even tempted to disable JavaScript everywhere and enable it only where needed.
Papers, please: Age verification laws threaten everyone's online security and privacy
Laws that require adults to upload their driver's licenses or passports to access apps, websites, and VPNs will make the entire web less safe.
Next month USPS introduces paid tracking access (paid per delivery/request) for 3rd party apps like Parcel.
What does it mean for you if you are tracking USPS deliveries in Parcel?
If you are a subscriber, you should be able to track 3-5 deliveries per month with real-time updates.
However, if you track more than that or if you are a free (or legacy premium) user, USPS deliveries will be severely delayed for you.
More details will be available next month. USPS info:
