@nhoizey @bdc In a production app, you’d probably only load the full-resolution images in the lightbox view. Lazy-loading is quite aggressive, test it with a (simulated) JioPhone 2 (kicks in at the selected image). The bigger problem are the missing dimenpic.twitter.com/uuLHGqGSip

@sergeybedritsky @ChromiumDev @nuxt_js Respectfully, no. This is not the same. See the screenshots. All it took was adding `<meta name=”color-scheme” content=”dark light”>`. pic.twitter.com/k8Wo1MNPkE

@firt The only reason may be legacy devices that are stuck on old iOS versions. Like iPhone 5 or something (which my parents still use).

@nhoizey @bdc It has `loading=”lazy” (https://t.co/NsUY6mHAAQ), so once your gallery grows big, it kicks in.

@TatianaTMac Yes we do. I should have started with “I, too, think…”.

@firt Hehe, talking of Web App Manifests: music.apple.com/manifest.json. Also worthwhile checking out the `<head>` section of the page. I can’t find a way to use the app in Safari (even deleting the native Music app doesn’t help). Works OK on desktop Chrome.

@firt If the manifest can’t be loaded, you are in trouble anyway. iOS has less of a version fragmentation problem than other OSs *cough*, so (apart from really old devices) there’s an OK high chance the behavior is consistent. Your post raises good points

Creating responsive CSS motion paths: https://t.co/MSosbV2doJ. Pretty neat!

@TatianaTMac I think it makes sense to initially respect `prefers-color-scheme`, but to also allow people to opt-out: https://t.co/Cypl59ryNV.

If you’re in the business of building Web apps—maybe even Progressive Web Apps—for iOS, give PWACompat a try (quoted tweet ⤵️). We now use it in @excalidraw, and it’s great! 💏 https://t.co/gBin4W6tS0

@samthor Judging from the docs, a lot of developers fell into this trap: https://t.co/RZnpfCO7hN. There’s even a good example vs. bad example section. But why have angle brackets? I *think* the reason for `<…>` are extension relation types that can co
