Yeah companies try to be fancy with these JavaScript heavy applications using React when sites work perfectly fine without all that stuff.

Didn’t someone create this same thing a few weeks ago? 🤔

For anyone who cares, you can get this same behavior of a normal line break by holding shift while pressing enter as well.

Ok you’ve peaked my curiosity.

but with large potential consequences.

What are some of the consequences you see?

Not surprised that Tech debt is among the biggest. There seems to be a lot of complexity added to apps unnecessarily these days-especially web based apps. It’s almost like companies purposefully force their engineers into creating web apps so bloated that users have no choice but to use the native app version.

Yeah, I misunderstood. Maybe RSS feeds probably aren’t a good solution for replies in an individual nested thread within a post.

I can see that becoming chaotic to manage after subscribing to a handful of threads, all in separate RSS feeds. You’d be constantly subscribing and unsubscribing to deal with all the potential noise 😬

Left a comment to another user in this feed. Do you use RSS feeds at all? If so, you can use that to get notifications. But if you don’t use RSS feeds for sites, probably not worth it.

You can if you use RSS feeds. For instance an RSS feed for the threads in this post is at https://openrss.org/beehaw.org/post/15660443.

This is great news! Weird that I’m subscribed on all of the earlier Firefox GitHub discussions and didn’t notice it. I wonder which version was the first to have Firefox support feature in it.

It does sound like lists may be a little overused but it would be hard to say without specific examples.

Using lists in the nav situation seems reasonable. But if he’s advocating that everything on a web page should be a list, that’s a bit extreme.

Oh wow, I didn’t know that! Is there any official statement? Search didn’t turn up anything. I guess I don’t necessarily need to know exactly how it went down, but I wanna be nosy. :D

You shouldn’t wait because it’s going to happen. I moved all of my projects off of Github and Gitlab, and now self-hosting my own gitea instance. It’s been great and never looked back!

We’re all always dissatisfied with something

I don’t think this is an anti-React post, like the other commenters are implying.

This issue would occur when attempting to search any webpage with the web browser’s builtin search feature before the content has a chance to load in. This happens if the page requires JavaScript to load, which is the case with React apps.

Not many things require a polyfill these days. My guess is a lot of older sites are affected.

Look at the frameworks go!!! I know I know. “its not a framework”…

We’re talking about instances having feed content for other instances (on totally different domains), so anything helping with this case would be a “third party service”.

You can use openrss.org RSS feeds. They are there for this exact purpose. For example, you can get an RSS feed of /c/retrogaming@lemmy.ml by going to https://openrss.org/programming.dev/c/retrogaming@lemmy.ml. Then all links in the feed will always go to the post on programming.dev instance.

Yes! Can’t believe it’s 2024 and websites are still not accessible. Even the biggest companies are the worst at this… and don’t even get me started on their mobile sites 🙄

Yeah, depending on the branch I’ve found that method not to be too reliable. openrss offers branches for RSS feeds for commits on every branch though: e.g. https://openrss.org/github.com/octokit/octokit.rb/commits/main
