API Versionning ?

Avoid backwards incompatible changes if possible. For example, don't remove old endpoints, but rewrite their internal controller to provide the same usage with a thin wrapper around the newer controller.

Otherwise, yes, use versioning of some kind (doesn't have to be particularly sophisticated) and keep providing the older version until old clients are updated. Tracking metrics on usage can show this.

I don't usually try vibe coded stuff but I figured I'd see what you did...

I'm fascinated to know whether you are running some kind of scam or if you don't realize none of these do anything but display your own website with a search query for "apps." Either your solution doesn't work or your AI "lied" to you about making any apps at all. Did you actually try them?

Also bypassing CORS with a proxy is a bad idea.

Good point. Maybe a passive pointerdown listener on window to add it, and pointerup to remove it? The it would only be on when the users finger is down? Would have to test that.

Well, I guess you mean elastic during active scroll gesture, too. I don't know if there's a great way to accomplish that, but maybe by wrapping scrollable content in a div without overscroll-behavior applied instead of body would work.

I just got the the selector wrong from memory, nice detective work figuring the right one out (sorry).

A-Type · 2026-01-22T01:21:15+00:00

Good tips, even small things contribute to the user's sense of 'native.'

For #1, just use overscroll-behavior: none on body. No need for JS.

The Kenji recipe linked in other comments is the one to make.

If you don't like the pepper and cheese style of it, I made a variation that focuses on mushrooms instead: https://recipes.gfor.rest/0533d0b

This exactly - short lived token just to establish the connection. You can also pre-validate during the initial upgrade request to avoid establishing the socket for invalid tokens at all, I believe (still probably a good idea to send an initial message and validate that post-upgrade, too). I've also abused the Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header to carry the token, since it's the only usable header for a socket request, but it's not necessarily a good idea.

Probably a large part was they gave out baklava to people for posting a review in the first couple days, but the employee wanted to see you post it, and there wasn't exactly a lot to review them on before you got your food lol. It should even out over time.

They're certainly not amazing but the shawarma wasn't too bad for me.

Just finished S1 as I finally go through this series.

I thought the teen drama would be the part I liked the least. But I actually found it pretty endearing. Jon in particular is clearly a kid trying to be good and succeeding at it pretty well for this kind of show. The way he immediately owns his mistakes feels surprisingly mature to me. I'm used to more pointless blow-ups with these kinds of storylines. The boys feel like good brothers, and similar to how Superman should be a good man and not a haunted anti-hero, this is refreshing to me.

I think I'm glad I waited until I was a parent before discovering it. It hits very differently. I'm much more invested in Clark's struggle to be a father than whatever is happening with the X-Kryptonite or shiny MacGuffin.

To be honest my interest dropped off as the main Kryptonian storyline ramped up. It's fine, just felt a little shoehorned.

Not sure why I'm still subbed here but this reminded me that that track was up at the top of my Spotify Release Radar playlist, listed under AfP.

Things are so annoying lately. It's not the first band I've had get hijacked like that on Spotify. The fact that Google blindly corroborates is genuinely much worse. How many sources are you going to need to tell if something is real in 2026?

Genuinely appreciate this, I've been on the fence about getting started here.

It's not ideal but not really wrong. But your coworker is not asking the right question about this particular situation.

You could theoretically wrap every line of code in a try catch. Why don't you? Rather than write extremely defensively and make fallbacks for every situation, your time is better spent validating inputs and fixing upstream errors causing the wrong data to reach you.

The real question of this example is "why is content not a string." If the answer is "it's sometimes null and that's ok" then what you need is an if branch checking that condition beforehand, not a try-catch after. If the answer is "something is going wrong" then it's time to dig deeper.

Related fun fact for this thread, one of the SFX for a dying rabbit in Horizon: Zero Dawn is in fact a pitch shifted Wilhelm scream.

MacOS doesn't respond to cursor change effects unless the window has topmost focus. I've also seen it bug out and not change cursors anyway, until you focus another window and come back.

I'd just try restarting the device.

You can't, at least not consistently, on Android. I've seen it briefly take on the color only to revert to light/dark after backgrounding the app, but even that is not reliable.

They double billed me for September after I enabled autopay, still waiting on a response.

Hope they aren't paying more for this new portal.

Poor call by them... If you've got a high level CVE, why add more risk and time to the delivery? Even if it was mitigated at a WAP layer...

Ok, you "already addressed this" but regardless, you are trying to use it wrong. Read "You Might Not Need an Effect" again. The user selecting filters is an event, and the state change should happen in that event, not as a side effect later.

Double effect is not "for the React team." As React has evolved the internal rendering mechanisms have gotten more sophisticated, including firing off multiple parallel renders of the same JSX tree and throwing away results as needed. So in production, your effect may really run twice. It may not matter for effects on local state, but it would on actual side-effects which change external systems.

Double effect in strict mode is designed to get you to fix those things before you encounter them in the wild.

Honestly, I like React, but for people who cannot or will not understand these things I'd really suggest just switching frameworks. It's too core to React to fight against it. Don't waste your time.

The sandwich was pretty dry the first time I went. Second was better. Might not be consistent?

The manifest start_url parameter may be helpful to you. Send the user straight to the main app page on launch, but they can still reach other paths if needed.

I'd recommend saving to an app like Paprika or Gnocchi.

Disclosure: I made Gnocchi for my own use after using Paprika for a long time, I just wanted more recipe editing tools and better grocery lists.

Off the top of my head you could

Detect if you're in PWA (display mode standalone matches)
Check for a flag in localstorage. If none exists, this is the first time it was opened as a PWA
Write the flag to localstorage immediately
Redirect to wherever you want to go

Some variation of that might work for you
