If you're a software developer and need motivation to work on that side-project, learn something new or just want to code for fun and want to feel part of something – devclub.fyi was created for you. It'd be great to see what you build. ✌️

Prediction: The next generation Xbox will be like the Steam Deck but for your TV – A Windows OS based console with a gamepad first user interface, built in cloud streaming and ability to back out to the desktop to install and run other app stores and launchers. #Winbox

@bradeeoh.bsky.social Is there any way in Safari to remove or specify a different keyboard "InputAccessoryView" via HTML/JS? When there's only one input field (think chat app or search) it doesn't really make sense to show this.

Do people care about or use URL paths?
Non-tech people have a few barriers:
- No consistency - every website/app uses a different structure
- Paths aren’t visible - modern browsers (especially mobile) tend to hide them
- Links become broken over time - websites/apps change and old links vanish

Validating the idea of a web based app store for PWAs:
Traffic over the last week through @appcloudstore.bsky.social has shown there’s real interest in discovery of web apps. 🚀
🎯 Next goal: Getting apps featured on appcloud.app/store
Interested in featuring your web app? DMs are open 🙂

Safari installed web app icons - I would really like to see these respect webmanifest icon changes without requiring users to re-add the web app to their Dock/HomeScreen.

My top 3 progressive web app wishes on Apple platforms: ⭐️ Deep linking support
⭐️ Specify an InputAccessoryView to replace the default ‘done’ and arrow keys above the onscreen keyboard
⭐️ A declarative way to opt-out of the double tap then hold gesture to display the magnifying glass
