Don't wait for iOS support until you make your PWA installable.

If we can teach users four clicks to add a web app to their favorites, we can teach them how to install a web app.

Users are not unfamiliar with installable web apps because of the lack of iOS support.

It's because we don't build enough of them.
Build great fricking web apps and make them installable.
Make them work offline and use what the platform provides to create a great user experience.

@robert_shaw A better install experience for web apps ✨

I'm building a better install experience for installable web apps. This is just the start of the journey...✨ #iPhone #iOS26 #PWA #buildinpublic

2024 iPad Pro M4 13-inch vs 11-inch for web development? We're not quite there yet but we're getting closer... 👀

13-inch has the extra space and the keyboard layout is more standard. Safari dev tools/inspector is still absent.

Now that #GoogleStadia is no more. Someone needs to make a new PC gamepad using the #Stadia gamepad mould but with a replaceable battery compartment. It was so comfortable! 😊

Why can’t we install web apps on watchOS, tvOS and visionOS?

The web is a solid choice for delivering games to multiple platforms. I've seen more and more developers choosing to build Progressive Web Apps. Here are a couple of games I've spotted recently:

It was lovely visiting @YorkStJohn today to give the comp-sci, software and cyber security students some insights into what I look for as a hiring manager @RotaCloud as well as some general insights into how AI can be used to aid development.
