# vladimyr Used to be, with their recent move to new frontend that broke even the CTRL-F workflow it is really though sell

# [KevinMarks] This is the structural complexity. The Promise model captures it, but the downstream paths can be hard to express in linear code. The async keyword model gives a clear path when things go right but masks the complexity of the failure cases
# vladimyr I ment parallelism, sorry
# vladimyr allows you to express only serial but not parallel workflows
# vladimyr for that one you need to go back to Promises land

# Gorro_Rojo[theyi gmorninn, does anyone know if there are some web standards for ecommerce sites? im thinking of something not unlike microformats, specially for small coop businesses
# [tantek] it looks like IFTTT is still able to auto-crosspost to Twitter — is anyone using IFTTT to do their POSSEing? E.g.: https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1665671132681306113

# Gorro_Rojo[theyi <[tantek]> "what is the small coop business..." <- aaa darn I *just* found `h-product`, it's what I was looking for, sorry for bothering, my memory troubles betray me 😅 thank you!
# Gorro_Rojo[theyi <[snarfed]> "the new twitter API free tier..." <- that doesn't sound too bad

# Gorro_Rojo[theyi it limits making third-party clients, but at least we can still posse to twitter, then
geoffo joined the channel
# [snarfed] that's a low bar, considering everything that _used_ to be free (or reasonably priced) and accessible in the Twitter API. https://snarfed.org/2023-04-03_so-long-twitter-api-and-thanks-for-all-the-fish

# shreyanjain[m] Ahh that's nice, I don't use Safari but that's definitely nice to see better web app support right from Apple
# capjamesg Yeah.
# capjamesg They said developers don't need to do anything.
# capjamesg Which makes me wonder.
# shreyanjain[m] That does not bode well 🤔
# [KevinMarks] Is this Web Clips again? Or whatever the widgets thing they had before?

# vladimyr Oh there we go, Apple as we all know it: https://twitter.com/jensimmons/status/1665782319796346881
# vladimyr > Yes. “PWA” is a very specific term that requires both a manifest file and a service worker. Neither is required for web apps on Mac.
# vladimyr web standard = very specific term ✅
# vladimyr Definitely true from end user perspective but arguing with established standards doesn't really do users a favor cause now they need to go back to devs and ask them to support both pwa and webkit webapp
# vladimyr And then there is this also:
# vladimyr Um, sure bout that? https://www.w3.org/TR/appmanifest/
# vladimyr Which is ofc marketing and umbrella term for manifest plus worker
# vladimyr My point wasn't in arguing with nonexistent pwa standard but manifest part that's supposedly redundant

# Soni idea: there should be a lightweight fedi scraper you can run without having to setup a whole postgresql and whatnot
