mertens··on Web Push for Web Apps on iOS and iPadOS
Good to see Apple finally making some effort to support PWAs, but as a user it's still very cumbersome to actually add a Web App to the homescreen (compared to Android).

mertens··on Summer Afternoon – A WebGL Experiment
So happy to read in a top comment on HN that the future for web games is bright :-) We've been betting on it for a while[0] and it should only get better with WebGPU.

Unity has issues indeed, unfortunately. The developer experience is shit. If you want to mitigate the user experience, you can use our open-source optimization package: https://github.com/CrazyGamesCom/unity-optimizations-package (feedback welcome!)
