  • Yeah. Try comparing texts written in Old English and Old Norse. It's basically the same language. (I'm not surprised at all that Beowulf takes place in Scandinavia.)

    But I think they would both be easier to decipher for someone speaking Swedish than English.

  • There are strong indications that Half Life 3 (or at least a Half Life game) is coming soon. Of course, Valve might decide to pan the project, but I wouldn't be surprised seeing an announcement for 2026.

  • I have good news for you: if you prefer running a PWA in your browser of choice, you can. Nothing forces you to install the PWA.

  • How? Do I need to configure something in uBlock Origin? If I go to, e.g., Reddit I still see the annoying "Open app" button.

  • I am very much interested in local-first/only (backend-less) PWAs, and have built a couple of them myself.

    Unfortunately, I don't think I have any use for a time-boxing app. Nice work though.

    Is there a reason you went with localStorage rather than indexedDB?

    One useful thing is supporting 3rd party sync services. One of the apps I built allowed syncing data across devices via Dropbox. I never got Google Drive working, though, their API was horrible to work with in comparison. Is sync support something you've considered?
