These assholes https://www.openui.com/ did not do any due diligence before choosing a name.

The only Open UI that counts is https://open-ui.org/

@zachleat I would say it depends. Ports are annoying when you need a series of apps (ex; API service A, etc) to run to do what you need and all apps want to start at the same port. Because; defaults.

Would love a local discovery thing which would give apps a random port and then apps find each other based on something else than the port locally.

The Virtual Keyboard API ⌨️ Is broken where it matters most: https://zouhir.org/blog/virtual-keyboard-api/. Fantastic blog post by Zouhir Chahoud that goes into where it hurts: no support by Safari and Firefox, buggy support by Chrome, but Zouhir created very actionable bug reports that you should star ⭐ if you care. (I wrote about the API some years ago: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/virtual-keyboard.)
The Virtual Keyboard API Is Broken Where It Matters Most

Six years after the spec shipped, Safari and Firefox haven't implemented it and Chrome's implementation has three compounding bugs. Here's what's wrong.

@brucelawson @gundersen Aha. How did I miss not knowing about this one :/
@gundersen @brucelawson Yeah.. where is this???

The U.K. accelerates toward police state status, by requiring the equivalent of a license to read and speak online. Worse, it drastically undermines your personal security.

The US is moving this way, too. Wake up, people, because it's almost too late.

No ID Checks for Web Access

Take action! What’s the problem? The Government has proposed amendments to the Children Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which would give Ministers the power to restrict access to "internet services". This is supposed to give the Government the power to ban under 16s from social media but “internet services" is a very broad definition, which means any online platform can be included. The wording of the amendment means they could do this without even having to prove that these sites are harmful for children.

@slightlyoff We're doing this approach; converting our DS to Web Components and archiving our React and Vue DS components. In paralell upgrading React to 19 across the org. Then we provide React wrappers for existing React apps (limit cost of adoption) and engourage non-wrapped Web Components in new apps. We have one setup for React and on setup for progressive enhancement. Then run education on progressive enhancement and standards.

The core of this is spot on.

Though; Add Tauri as an alternative to Electron and one cover the gated mobile app segment as well.

Claude is an Electron App because we’ve lost native

Article argues that Claude is not an Electron app not because LLMs can’t do it, but because there are no advantages left for native
