Sure, there was a time when you would need a jailbreak to do it, but ad-blocking on iOS has been supported for 14 years now.

Why not just block the ads and such?

web and mobile are both platforms with their own special quirks, APIs, and behaviors. however, you missed that Logbook Ed also runs on macOS.

I could be wrong, but I think glass=hard, while finish=soft. The inside Duo screen is not hard like the outer glass.

I suppose it’s hard to follow a thread across multiple comments, but like I said, cross platform UI toolkits give sub-par results.

You can just look at my profile and see some of it, or check out my website. I’ll have a new app to show soon, so stay tuned!

I think it’s better to do a good job once rather than five or six bad jobs, but we all have different priorities.

I couldn’t disagree more, when it comes to UIs. They should match the platform they are being used on. Cross-platform always produces a very sub-par experience. But us developers tend to care primarily about what makes development easiest for us.

Science fiction and internet comments

two is off-by-one from three btw

"absolutely no way that there is a $100 bill on the sidewalk- if there were, somebody would have picked it up already"

I'll add another endorsement for Wipr 2, especially as one purchase grants adblocking on both iOS and Mac Safari.

Viewing the article in my HN reader app and there are no ads to be found. Quite a nice experience, I can't recommend Wipr enough!

I figured Linux would be available, since Android is a Linux distro itself (of sorts, at least). But no other OS's like BSD, Unix, or Windows is available. Am I to understand correctly that only the Pixel 3a is able to run Linux distros, or was that meant as an example?

for example, on my required to use website dfas.mil, I get the following message impeding any loading of the site:

Good luck! lmk how it goes
