shoutout to @jedimody and @browsercompany's perf & stability teams, who have just been *relentless* recently nine months ago, our crash-free member rate was ~97%. now it's >99%. long way to go but the muscle is built super proud of this scrappiness from samir & the team:
A tiny but fun detail in today's @diabrowser update: Drop targets are magnetic and gravitate toward the cursor, making them easier to hit. Haptics included when it snaps too!
Building @charliedeets's design for a sidebar option in @diabrowser. We’re torn: should we ship it?
