Success!!

Apple has given up and announced that in the European Union version of iOS 17.4 'web apps' will be able to be installed on the homescreen and work offline. As the developer of the web apps FindMeSAR and GeoJPG, this is great news.

The company's late acknowledgment of intentionally limiting PWA capabilities, presented as compliance with the EU's , has been criticized as deceitful. This move, seen as an attempt to protect its , undermines open and harms and users.

GeoJPG v2 launch on target for March 19 - maybe sooner.

Make your own custom maps, host them for free on Google Drive, view them offline and see your geolocation.

No ads. No tracking. No signup. No cost.

I am developing this as a public service and part of my way to "pay it forward". Plus I am having a blast doing this since - to the best of my knowledge - this is a new approach to offline maps.

I love experiments that showcase the power of the web platform and this is no exception: a pure #WebStandards-powered #ProgressiveWebApp

Got coordinates?

FindMeSAR has been updated to v3. This webpage displays your coordinates in several formats and can be installed so it works offline.

Calling 911? Use the yellow screen to give decimal degrees and the accuracy.

I volunteered to develop this as a public service after seeing news stories of people that called 911 and there was confusion over their location. Some people died as a result of that confusion.

Not in any app store! To install it so it will work offline delete the FindMeSAR icon if it is already anywhere on your screen, then browse to https://findmesar.com and carefully follow instructions you will see.

The companion app is a desktop app that runs in the system tray and manages a locally running IPFS node. It provides a UI which seems to be web-based. It launches it's own browser (likely Electron) but you can also load it in any browser, where it presents as a . This means you are installing a locally served ! 🤯

Anyone who tells you, Mozilla Firefox, does not work with PWAs (progressive web apps), has not used Firefox in a long time.

Screenshots (2) below show I can load both Google Documents and Microsoft 365 Documents (Office 365) just fine.

    It's unfortunate how installing a removes the reload and back buttons, especially on where you can't right click for a context menu, or use a keyboard shortcut.

    Maybe the OS level back button, and pull-to-refresh suffice most of the time but I still find myself needing the browser toolbar pretty often.

    question.

    Are PWAs run through the other extensions on the browser? For example, if I used the Youtube PWA, would uBlock filter out the ads? Or is that explicitly on a regular website?

    Thanks.

    I don't think people appreciate the role that played in fostering the and during the first (when the was still built on their proprietary engine), and a fortiori the role it had in their demise (when they switched to being “just another /‌ skin”), despite their browser never even reaching a 3% market share.

    Opera in the Presto days was a pioneer. Anybody that enjoys a () today should be aware of the efforts made by Opera to standardize their Widgets feature, even if the standard they promoted was ultimately obsoleted by the current one, that relies on modern client features that were not available at the time.
    The Opera-designed “demonstrative” Unite Applications were media, photo and file sharing applications. Does that make you think of anything?
