This looks similar to https://paseo.sh/, if I understand correctly. I’ve recently tried it and liked it a lot. Would be nice to see a comparison. When’s the harness of harnesses of harnesses coming?

You get GUI niceties: a nice presentation of the output like inline markdown rendering including tables and images in a nice font. Input supports drag & drop, and I can actually navigate the input field the way I am used to (pointing and clicking, using keyboard shortcuts to jump to beginning of words / sentences). Not sure what the most modern CLIs support, but for me just the ergonomics of a GUI text field alone are superior.

It depends. The fee applies only if Mozilla opts into the "new terms". You’re right that it if Mozilla chooses the new terms, they have to pay the fee on the app store too. But they are allowed to stay on the old terms and still offer "real" Firefox. In this case they pay nothing.

From https://daringfireball.net/2024/01/apples_plans_for_the_dma:

"Stay in App Store under the current (pre-DMA) rules, exclusively. Developers that take this option: Are not permitted to use any of the new business terms available in the EU, but new iOS platform options for the EU, such as alternate browser engines, are allowed. (Because they are required to be allowed.)"

I believe they can continue to distribute via App Store for free.

„Real“ Firefox is now possible in EU.

There are also security requirements imposed by regulation. A free for all would not be compliant as far as I understand. Also arguably not in the user’s interest.

Genuinely curious: people throw around the term „malicious compliance“ a lot. It seems the platform fee is explicitly allowed by the DMA, so Apple demands it. Again, I am not trying to troll but what would „benevolent compliance“ look like and what would Apple‘s incentive be to give up the fee?

Following your line of argument, isn’t the app ecosystem the healthiest of all, with nearly every major app available on Android and iOS?

I only ever used hono as a simple convenience router for my cloudflare functions. This feels ambitious. I’m a bit skeptical if this is the right direction frankly, I hope it doesn’t make the framework too bloated.

No end-to-end encryption means they have more data though.

I love how this is written. Very relatable, very approachable.

With Apple Pay it never asks for PIN (been using for years). I'm no expert, but I think authenticating with FaceID/TouchID means it always provides the equivalent of a PIN.
