@grandazz @unistyler @diegohaz I work on the Messenger team at Intercom 👋

It sounds like you want to integrate a live Messenger - is that for testing a specificfix or as a permanent example?

And to double check, you need the full open Messenger experience, not just the launcher, right?

[David Singleton @dsingleton]

Can’t believe that I’ve been at been at @intercom for one year already. Or that they make cards to celebrate your anniversary.

A little cheesy? Sure. Do I love it? 100%

[David Singleton @dsingleton]

@PolicyRiot @darraghcurran @eoghan @intercom @ChatGPT Sorry it didn’t work for you - definitely keen to hear the technical feedback 👍

[David Singleton @dsingleton]

@darraghcurran @PolicyRiot @eoghan @intercom Definitely not my intent! I was trying to find a term to contrast to 'Document-y', in terms of visual design conventions. Documents tend to be something sparse pass through, with Apps being something denser you spend a lot more time in, thats my experience of PWAs at least 👍

[David Singleton @dsingleton]

@PolicyRiot @darraghcurran @eoghan @intercom Hopefully the snippet I shared did the trick for your demo and we can work out a better long term solution for your use case 🙂

[David Singleton @dsingleton]

@PolicyRiot @darraghcurran @eoghan @intercom I'm totally with you as an advocate of PWAs, and it is really annoying in that case.

There's a challenge where different customers have different expectations of how positioning on mobile web should work - and some folks will be relying on the current behaviour unfortunately.

[David Singleton @dsingleton]

@PolicyRiot @darraghcurran @eoghan @intercom We've not had a lot of demand for additional launcher customisation settings but i'd love to hear more about your use cases - Drop me a line [email protected]?

I've got a few ideas in mind that might be better than more settings 🙌

[David Singleton @dsingleton]

@PolicyRiot @darraghcurran @eoghan @intercom Hey Michael 👋 I work on the Messenger and have a quick fix - can you give this snippet of CSS a go and let me know?

https://t.co/cvnH3nzQeR

You'll need to tweak the positioning values to your needs and include your MQ breakpoint (if you don't want it to affect desktop too)

[David Singleton @dsingleton]

@daveyheuser @intercom You too! Incredible work all round

[David Singleton @dsingleton]

@Geek_Manager @type__error @type__error Happy to chat! I've always done full-stack, with a focus on web, though as i've become more senior i've found myself doing more backend (which I've seen happen a lot)

I'd also recommend chatting to @vernacchia, who works in a Senior Staff Eng role along side me.

Log in to reply to a DM.

First time on Twitter in a month.

Idly checked my notifications while i'm here.

95% of them are on the hot-dog/sandwich

Log out of Twitter forever.

[David Singleton @dsingleton]

@bencord0 @jshmc @marianeum Please. Let's not pretend that a sandwich requires lettuce and tomato

[David Singleton @dsingleton]

"A hotdog is a sandwich. Change my mind"

My finest work, inflicted on my colleagues in a @DeliverooEng un-conference session.

[David Singleton @dsingleton]

@McKelvie 👌 we should have a couple of days there at the end

[David Singleton @dsingleton]

no more jobs!

...until October. Going to spend a couple of weeks driving around the Scottish highlands and entirely ignoring the internet.

[David Singleton @dsingleton]

@JellybobUK Hah - I prime now’d one last night and I’m already struggling with that. Constantly trying to push buttons that aren’t theer

[David Singleton @dsingleton]

Guess who poured a glass of water over their kindle two days before going on holiday?

Is it worth upgrading to the Paperwhite over the regular?
