@FloWritesCode I think it’s just bugged right now. Same crash happens with the placeholder code provided by Apple when you create a new project and select SwiftData.

@ekurutepe I’ve noticed this too. Maybe a regression since 16.0 as I never noticed it in iOS 15.

@davidjoelhall The twin ERPro-8s are great. Lovely combination of hardware and software. Solid uptime of 3 years, two weeks and counting. Bummed that the line has been discontinued without anything comparable from UI.

@jerodsanto Hmm I thought iOS had that built in. Not entirely sure what’s up with that. Seems to be a “Add to Homescreen” limitation. The long press to view alt works well on the App Store version though apps.apple.com/us/app/feedbin…

@gruber @davewiner Feedbin hosts a Mercury cluster. The goal isn't to enable piracy. It works as a side effect of NYT's paywall implementation. They serve full text, probably to get good Google juice. The paywall is activated with JS. You can run curl on any NYT URL to see what it looks like.

@mergesort I’m interested. Big fan of SwiftUI. I’m benubois on GitHub.

Creating an unrestricted key first, then coming back to it to view suggestions would probably be more useful for integrations with multiple roles.

@patrickc Feature Request: Suggest permissions for a restricted API key. I don't know which resources to allow access to without testing, so a recommendation based on observed API usage would be helpful.

@jonikorpi The why is as important as the what in many cases. It would require perfect empathy or too much time to understand the issue without the example. Good work!

@siracusa I think Safari prefers rel=mask-icon and if present, it puts it on a white background. Your might try getting rid of that to get transparency in your favicon.

@trevormkay @jmsplease @viticci @bzamayo env(safe-area-inset-bottom) seems bugged when a viewport meta tag is present. I think it's not taking the space below the location bar into account. This looks too high. This is on beta 2.

@schneems @_cha1tanya @searls Defaulting to “default” sounds perfect and the way I feel like it worked before the concept of “platforms”. Maybe locking to a specific platform should be opt-in for whatever use-case that is trying to solve? Did you create an issue for this somewhere?

@viticci I think this is possible in @feedbin. Subscribe to anyone's /likes (with media only) this way:

@rsms This one works like an email client (send it through an existing SMTP server + full control over format) but has list + merge functionality. Used it for years as a one-time purchase maxprog.com/site/software/…

@patrickc @stripe Small feature request. Checkout has the ability to detect country of origin. It would be nice if this were exposed in stripe.js to help prefill custom forms. That’s literally the only thing I can think of because Stripe is ✨
