Husband to Jayne Folest. That mouse from the Giants' Club. Too small to be real.

Is there a web browser for iOS that will (1) continue to play audio from YouTube while the iPhone is locked and and (2) block YouTube ads?

For all the bad I hear about it, only Brave manages to implement these features.

@Xipher Data entry is certainly part of the engineer’s job. But if I make that hard, then it becomes my job to enter the data. Tolerance for friction is low. Buy-in for a database is also low.

@Xipher Going from spreadsheets to a database makes it an order of magnitude more difficult for engineers to work with the data set. But it doesn’t seem to add enough value to be worth the effort.

Trying to see how low I can get the required effort, but it’s challenging, so I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas because I haven’t found a workable one.

@Xipher My main challenge is the users are all accustomed to editing data freehand in Excel. If they cannot just copy/paste data in and out of the database that easily, they just won’t.
@Xipher Small database. A few tables. Dozens of fields. Thousands of records. ~10 users with write access.
Your engineering team uses Excel on Sharepoint as a database. No one else on your team is a programmer. You have to replace the Excel “database” with an actual database. Everyone needs to be able to freely, easily use this database. You have only 8 hours. What do you do?
Twitter is telling people who have posted just once that they are “over the daily limit for sending tweets,” and won’t allow them to post. I am currently blocked from posting on Twitter. DMs are also down.

Twitter is *actually* broken. Giving users an error saying they have tweeted too many times today.
