In case you, too, have been bitten by the "no JS alert() in PWA" bug in which renders a few 's partially broken, it's a relatively recent bug by which I mean it's 2 years old

TBF: I haven't paid a dime for Vivaldi, they don't owe me anything, and it's a fine piece of tech. I can still be annoyed by bugs, though.

Plans for today:

  • unveil my new #macOS app
  • get website done
  • record quick’n'dirty “this is what it lets you do” video
  • get a haircut
  • get some #ObsidianMD plugin work done

Onwards!

@oliver Liegt kurz auf Eis, weil ich während der Arbeit an einem neuen BA-Feature festgestellt habe, dass das Feature eine eigene App verdient. 😉

Aber der “Unterbau” ist all das, was ich in den letzten zwei, drei Monaten an Browser Actions gearbeitet habe. Neue Lizenzierung (inkl. Infrastruktur), diverse Aufräumarbeiten, weil nicht mehr App Store, usw. Will heissen: Die neue BA-Beta kommt demnächst.

Let's do this! 🤙🏼

So I'm working on another #macOS app that adds #Shortcuts support to apps that don't have them. Namely… to all of them. 😅

UI Actions adds #ShortcutsApp actions for selecting/showing menus, clicking buttons, hitting keys, typing text. It's a very reduced set of functions right now but I wanted to get the beta out of the door, and “perfect” is the enemy of "ever”.

macOS 13.3+. The public beta opens (checks watch) now. And here's the website:

I've also spent a few hours on making a super-reduced explainer video:

I'm sure I forgot a lot of things but to be fair, it was a long day and I'm ready for a walk.

So, if UI Actions sounds like something you'd be interested in, please check out the beta at https://actions.work/ui-actions, and let me know what you think! Thanks in advance 🙏🏼

Also, there's a forum: https://actions.work/ui-actions/forum Not a Discord, because I'm not a monster

Update: Neither the hair got a cut nor the Obsidian plugins made the cut. Tomorrow, I guess

@matthewcassinelli Explain?

@matthewcassinelli Ah, I see. The organization of workflows in Shortcuts is another construction site, indeed

Moved everything from Brave over to Vivaldi. Let's try this again, then.

czottmann,
@czottmann@norden.social avatar

So close. window.alert() doesn't work in installed PWAs in @Vivaldi, breaking part of Feedbin 🫤

@cliffwade Brave is nice but I hear "good things" about its CEO and all, doesn't feel great

czottmann,
@czottmann@norden.social avatar

BEAUTIFUL first impression there: While all my workspaces were restored after a restart, none of the included tabs were.

Srsly, Vivaldi, you're just fucking with me at this point, aren't you

czottmann,
@czottmann@norden.social avatar

@cliffwade PS: Also, Workspaces look pretty rad, compared to having several named windows. (I understand that under the hood, they're similar, though.)

czottmann,
@czottmann@norden.social avatar

@Vivaldi I have it set up w/ Last Session, and it hasn't done bad since, so I hope it was just a fluke.

Thanks for asking, appreciate it. I'm slowly settling in, feels nice ;)

Working with icons on #iOS/ #macOS/ whatever? Take a look at the free app Image2icon, it’s great, I've been using it for a few years by now. So many output options, like app icons for various systems, icon sets, DMG icons, folder icons etc.!
