pdanpdan··on SQL Case Files – A browser-based SQL detective game
Very nice :)
pdanpdan··on Show HN: Text to SVG – Convert text into SVG instantly
Hello. Nice idea, but there are some problems: - on mobile the interface is hard to use - I think it would be much easier if the sections would be displayed full size, without scroll - why does the SVG include css style and loads the font? It doesn't look like it is used - the stroke size is 0, I think you don't need a color for it - maybe use currentColor so that the color can be changed
pdanpdan··on Show HN: Hashmap.me – Simple HTTP-Based Data Storage and Retrieval
Wouldn't it be more semantically meaningful if you would use "...api/store/<hash>" with GET and PUT? That way you would also get better caching.

It looks like it's damaged in the English translation/version.

In a few other languages I checked it has :)

pdanpdan··on Unpacking Google’s Web Environment Integrity specification
How?

The page must first load, then it requests an attestation using js and sends it back to the server for further use (like a recaptcha token).

So for something like curl it could be no change.

The one not working has a space after the colon. It's even in the section taking about this :)
pdanpdan··on Firefox has surpassed Chrome on Speedometer
Small update: Firefox 117 on Android phone 75.4(+-6.4) so still there
pdanpdan··on Firefox has surpassed Chrome on Speedometer
Chrome has ublock and very few others, Firefox only ublock

I suppose it is about nightly 117

pdanpdan··on Firefox has surpassed Chrome on Speedometer
Does this require some special test environment (special OS, special builds of firefox/chrome)?

Because for me chrome vs firefox (both 115)

  - ubuntu desktop: 148(+-2.2) vs 126(+-6.5)
  - android phone: 95.8(+-2.0) vs 78.5(+-4.3)
So it looks like chrome is faster and delivers a more stable performance while firefox is slower and more inconsistent on performance
pdanpdan··on Show HN: Otoclick.app – Automate anything on your Android phone without rooting
It looks like a scam app praised by 2 accounts created for this :)
pdanpdan··on Bun: Fast JavaScript runtime, transpiler, and NPM client written in Zig
You could be more impressed that some web pages manages to guess that the browser you use, that presents itself as a desktop browser, is in fact a mobile browser :)

PostgreSQL?
pdanpdan··on Total Cookie Protection
I suppose because some of them are in the standard and not implemented in other browsers. Or there are some 20 year old bugs (reported) that are not fixed while pocket and robot are featured.
pdanpdan··on Microsoft's Three Browsers
Hello. Can you please give some examples of Chrome-specific hacks instead of the normal way, or some web references. I'm helping on development of a web UI framework and it would help. Thank you.
pdanpdan··on Vue Native
You can also give a shot to Quasar (quasar-framework.org) that will provide you with single code base SPA, PWA and mobile through Cordova, and in a few days also SSR.
