I just ran into this quote somewhere (I am rewording cause I can't find it) "It's like eye glasses, you'll know when you need them" - Some smart guy I needed something jQuery could not provide, easing my work load. Let's look at this from 2 different perspectives: 1. You're building an app, and work with multiple tables to render and work with. And you have integrated form elements with the table cells that affect o…

HN discussionI don't understand what you're talking about. Jquery is still a highly effective library and nearly every project I use ends up using it in one way or another - even with vue.js. Jquery is JUST jquery. There is no pulling in 300 other packages to support it. It's also very stable, reliable, efficient enjoyable. this is how you might sort a table using a Jquery library: $("#myTable").tablesorter() And here's how to d…

HN discussionhave Apple historically dragged their feet on mobile Safari? Yes. Here's another example: http://www.raymondcamden.com/2014/09/25/IndexedDB-on-iOS-8-B... Every other browser supports IndexedDB for years, then Apple finally releases support for it and it's completely broken in multiple unfathomably bizarre ways. Still hasn't been fixed.

HN discussionAnother example: they ignored IndexedDB for a couple years after every other major browser implemented it. Then they finally got around to releasing a version of Safari with IndexedDB support... and it's just hilariously broken in so many ways http://www.raymondcamden.com/2014/09/25/IndexedDB-on-iOS-8-B... I literally cannot fathom how such a horribly buggy release could be made in good faith. It's like nobody even…

HN discussion> I would be surprised to see any web standard that makes iOS Safari better for "appy web apps" (web apps that are more like native apps rather than documents and forms) implemented, as that eventually just makes Safari an alternative AppStore without reviews. Which is pretty much what Apple has been pushing since before there was an appstore? To this day it takes just 2 taps (share > add to home screen) to add a we…

HN discussionWe are doing some larger scale desktop stuff with Ionic right now, and someone from the community wrote about doing something similar: http://www.raymondcamden.com/2015/07/23/some-initial-thought... It's interesting. Not sure where we'll take it, but I love the idea of one code base running everywhere, including desktop.
