@mrmasterkeyboard I know.

And I'm shure @fuchsiii could easily make something like the "Windows XP Tour" just with #HTML5 + #JS6 + #CSS3 and then ship it in like a self-contained #AppImage-style executeable!

@ciourte @netopwibby Needless to say I've only heard of some Spanish low-cost #MVNO offering one device only in a #prepaid #bundle when #FirefoxOS was unveiled at the #MWC in #Barcelona based off coverage in @ct_Magazin at the time.

Cuz I remember #WebDevs like @fuchsiii really loving it because it was the then hot & fresh #HTML5 + #JS6 + #CSS3 combo to make it super-easy to do #Apps. All one needs to build an app was #Firefox as Browser and the ability to basically zip' it.

Alas @Mozilla deciding on purpose to literally splinter the market by letting #MNO|s and MVNOs run their #AppStore|s instead of a #centralized model, making the situation worse than in the "P.R." #China where there are several vendor-independent #AppStores for #Android.

"Conspiracy Theorists" even suggested that this was deliberate self-sabotage to benefit #Google and #Android, tho needless to say Firefox OS aimed at devices & specs that were too low for Android.

Still, I'm #StillMad at #Mozilla for faceplanting Firefox OS cuz it had the easiest way to get started and a good architecture being every #App is just a #WebApp and all the system calls were standard #HTML5 permissions and nothing fancy.

Basically #PSvita - Syndrome, but worse as in #OpenMoko #Freenunner:

@baldur well, #Adobe did release #AnimateJS as a means to transition #Flash developers to #HTML5+#JS6+#CSS3…

@Linux @breadcat @tertle950 the Problem ain't web standards, far from it!

@torproject / #TorBroeser per default can do all the fancy #HTML5 / #CSS3 / #JS6 stuff anyone wants because it's just #Firefox with #Tor bolted into the inlet & exhaust.

The only issue I can see are assholes blocking Tor and that is IMHO illegal and beeds to be penalized...

@frumble Und deiner Kritik stimme ich nur zu Teil zu.

Unter anderem weil's nicht einfach glorifizierte Shortcuts sind, sondern auch lokal gespeicherte Daten sind und alles als #HTML5 + #JS6 + #CSS3 - Struktur aufgebaut ist, inklusive zentraler #Apps wie Telefonie und Taschenrechner.

Das erlaubt ein sehr sauberes und durchaus flinkes System und die Möglichkeit, alle System-Apps nach bedarf zu restylen und so Dinge wie #Verschlüsselung bei #SMS transparent umzusetzen.

Damit sind Lösungen alla TextSecure trivialst nativ integrierbar...

@Ariri unless you want custom-engineer your own #Markdown -> #LaTeX -> #Ghostscript pipeline like @fuchsiii did, consider #MkDocs as an easy solution to turn Markdown files into sleek #documentation with minimal configuration needed.

I've set it up multiple times and by just changing the docs_dir to like source and the site_dir to docs you can use #GithubPages for #hosting said #documentation...

That should provide you with an easy way to present stuff in an intuitive way...

Also proper #documentation is nice and Markdown is very easy to write and edit with Editors like #Codium a direct & instant preview.

I myself can't he assed writing #HTML5 / #CSS3 / #JS6 or wahtever #cursed #WebApp #TechStack is trendy tthese days so I use #MkDocs all the time...

Today I finished my #scriptableapp weather script for the #iOS lockscreen-widgets. It pulls the data from the #openweathermap #API

Updated my Reddit-Widget for #scriptable to version 1.4.1
I’ve added Lockscreen-Widgets which shows your total Karma or the status of your recent post/comment.
I also changed a bit the look of the homescreen widgets

@hexaheximal@blob.cat @esm @hexaheximal@wetdry.world ...and even if we think local #WebApps are a legitimate way to handle sensitive comms - they ain't but let's just assume they are for the sake of argument - WHY would you do anything beyond a .desktop file that includes startup parameters for #Firefox (or even #Chrome if you're that kind of Cyber-Masochist!) that specify the browser, and the file to load.

Because any good #WebApp should be reduceable as #HTML5 + #JS6 + #CSS3 and measured in kB or maybe a few MB.
