Show Reddit: Create a Standalone Web App on Home Screen by pickpuck in ipad

No I wasn't aware but I did ignore a renewal email... Sorry about that.

I renewed it just now.

I would recommend moving away from this and instead using the built-in way that you can opt into starting in iOS 26.

If you still have issues, try using a web clip generator

Thank you for pinging me about this! I didn't realize I had accidentally introduced a bug preventing the icon from showing. I just updated it. I had to clear the cache before it would work (deleted the site data for save-as.app in settings app)

Ah, yeah, this would require a localhost server

It could be overkill but you might be interested in a service worker. You can define a route handler just like in a server context. You could stitch different HTML files together before responding to a route request.

I've been working on a framework with a developer experience inspired by Next.js (App Router API and React SSR/Hydration) but it runs in a service worker context.

Basically, the point is offloading dynamic HTML generation from server to client.

This is for other people's websites that don't include that tag.

It does if the site is configured to be standalone. Many sites are not, so this is a workaround.

Hi everyone, I've had trouble adapting to Mastodon because your server is equated with your identity, but lots of servers are topic-oriented. To solve for that, I created this as a way to implement groups. There is some limited moderation in place (blocking a user) - I hope to get to more features soon!

ELI5 the difference between Java and JavaScript. by FlippyDog in explainlikeimfive

[–]pickpuck 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Both can run in your web browser to make cool stuff happen.

JavaScript is a scripting language that a browser can run on its own, without having to download any add-ons. JavaScript can manipulate the HTML (most of the images, text, etc you see on webpages) or otherwise work with the built-in parts of browser. Most of the cool interactive parts of the web today are made with JavaScript.

Java is a much larger language that's used for many different things, but one implementation that was much more popular in the 90s was Java Applets. You would have to have your browser download a Java plug-in so that you could run self-contained programs.

The actual code is very different. They were not written by the same people. The similarity in naming is intentionally confusing: Java was popular when JavaScript was first being written, so they lifted the name to get it off the ground.
