I somehow feel Safari drags its feet on basic things platform improvements because they want to focus on iOS apps instead.


The narrative Safari is behind and Apple doesn’t care about the web is so tired…

This 8,000+ word article on Safari 18.4 (released today, BTW) doesn’t read like an organization that doesn’t care about the web [1].

The pace of improvement in the web is slow.

I don’t want to debate if a mega corp cares or not, but compared to how UI frameworks were in the 90s, the developer experience is anemic.

I don’t know if HTML, CSS and JavaScript are the best path forward. Maybe they are doing exactly what their spec set out to do.

But we need something better that doesn’t leash one to an ecosystem that takes 30% of your revenue.


Eh; the standard is two weeks old. Written by someone working for Apple by the way.


I’m wondering where in my comment it sounded like I wanted this standard specially to be implemented yesterday?
