Wanted to edit camera profiles on Linux, couldn't get the official app to run in Wine, so I built my own https://filmkit.eggrice.soy

I also personally find the original app infuriating to use, takes a lot of click & wait to modify a profile.

This is really cool! I see you’ve got screenshot of it running on Android, could this ever also work on iOS? I tried in iOS on Chrome, but I just see “WebUSB not supported. Use Chrome, Edge, or Brave.”.

Apple doesn't allow any other browser engine than Webkit. So essentially all browsers on iOS are reskinned Safari.

You will have to wait until the WebUSB support lands in Safari.

Other browser engines are allowed in EU now.

I am not sure what are you trying to say with this comment. AFAIK there is not a single browser on iOS that is not webkit. Even in EU all browsers are reskinned safari.

Also even if somebody build browser engine for alt store then the support of WebUSB (which for sure needs support from OS) would require Apple involvement.

What a great project. Amazing work, thank you for shipping this.
