4. (Progressive) #Webapps.
While iOS has blocked this feature for years, locking developers to their pricey and walled #AppStore, on Android every Website in your browser can be used like a native app.
#Meta ironically blocks this aggressively, locking Video Playback and more to their App™. Other apps like #GoogleMaps, #TikTok or #Shitter annoy you with popups, but offer often reduced versions like this.
Webapps are WAY more isolated, cannot execute random code and more.

iOS 26 Safari introduces a Liquid Glass design, compact tab bar, new layout options, enhanced tab management, default advanced fingerprinting protection, HDR image support, SVG icon support, WebGPU for improved web app performance, add most importantly, security and privacy.
File encryption with a browser.
I've been exploring the #WebCryptoAPI and I'm impressed!
When combined with the #FileSystemAPI, it offers a seemingly secure way to #encrypt and #store files directly on your device. Think #localstorage, but with #encryption!
I know #webapps can have #security vulnerabilities since the code is served over the web, so I've #OpenSourced my demo! You can check it out, and it should even work if #selfhosted on #GitHubPages.

IMPORTANT NOTES (PLEASE READ!):
* This is NOT a product. It's for #testing and #demonstration purposes only.
* It has NOT been reviewed or audited. Do NOT use for sensitive data.
* The "password encryption" currently uses a hardcoded password. This is for demonstration, not security.
* This is NOT meant to replace robust solutions like #VeraCrypt. It's just a #proofofconcept to show what's possible with #browser #APIs.

Finishing up an @owasp #SAMM assessment and validation report for a major company in APAC region.
Built a lot of new templates and tools to assist with the process and looking forward to doing more of these assessments.
The #OWASPSAMM framework is solid and takes a very different approach to web-application security than more traditional compliance or audit frameworks. I'd recommend taking a look at it if your company primarily is an application developer or SaaS provider.
One of the stronger points for it is that it is geared towards self-assessment with a focus on continual improvement and a maturity approach. We kept telling our client, "We are not auditors and this is not an audit. We are here to help you document where you are today and where you want to be in the future." This lead to a very collaborative and non-adversarial engagement and lots of deep knowledge being freely shared by the development staff that you'd not see in a compliance audit (Trust me, I've done a lot of those too). We even had the
#InfoSec team tell us several times, "This is great because you're helping to validate our concerns and budget requests. Your vast experience from other companies is helping to guide us in solutions and bolsters our budget requests to executive management."
Again, if you are primarily developing #webapps for clients or running a #SaaS definitely consider doing your own self-assessment using the #OWASPSAMM toolkit. @owasp provides it for FREE in various flavors including Google Docs, Excel, and Docker. There is even the ability to use the JavaScript to build internal tools around it easily. Then if you decide you want a third-party validation, you can contract from the OWASP SAMM Practitioners list at: https://owaspsamm.org/practitioners/.
If you end up finding any of it useful or want more information, or to contribute you can also join @owasp and their SAMM meetings too. Find out more at: https://owaspsamm.org/contributing/

How to Detect Memory Leaks in Your Web App, by (not found on Mastodon or Bluesky):
Хоть я и не художник, а ретушер, периодически возникает задача просмотра сэмплированных кистей для #Photoshop, отовсюду скачанных, но желательно без загрузки в сам Photoshop. Есть как минимум две утилиты на #github, но работают только со старыми версиями формата .abr. И вот, кажется, нашел что-то более-менее пригодное: brush-viewer. Запускается из онлайна, но работает в браузере, ничего не отправляя на сервер. Превьюшки можно скачать в виде архива в PNG, но только сами сэмплы, не показывающие поведения в динамике (собственно, именно это мне и нужно). Там еще ссылка на утилитку на сях, на основе которой это написано, но она не умеет превьюшки сохранять, а просто показывает.

Things one tends to forget: network bandwidth and stability is not taken to be granted. And this can really mess up the software one is developing.
Planned a feature today where we need to show a couple of pictures. Up till now we only needed them somewhere in the backend and did not want to be too much hassle to the user. So we decided to limit one picture to 5 MB. As we can delete them after a certain time, we were not worried about storage.

I'm developing a demo app to be called #Winsome to show how to use my #dweb #RESTful APIs for the decentralised #Autonomi network.
I struggle with raw HTML, CSS & JS and am much happier with Svelte but this is going to be an app in a single HTML file so it's taken a while but the hard part is done!
Thinking about next steps has clarified what else I need in the #REST API and how to provide a neat security model for p2p web apps!
I do love code!
