YS Chung @yschung.org · 16/09/20251. i agree with the author's theory - webviews has a bad rep because you don't notice the well-integrated ones 2. safari doesn't support svg displacement maps, the easiest way to implement glass and lensing effects on the web currently, but has this private css property to do almost the same thing 100 1
YS Chung @yschung.org · 16/09/2025interesting that apple added their own css property to use liquid glass in webviews, only in their own apps alastair.is/apple-has-a-...alastair.isApple has a private CSS property to add Liquid Glass effects to web contentI have an incredibly boring summer hobby: looking at the changelog for the WebKit Github repo. Why? Because I spend a chunk of my professional life working with webviews inside mobile apps and I like… 110 1

YS Chung @yschung.org · 12/09/2025free idea: a website comparing what apps look like before and after liquid glass 000 0
YS Chung @yschung.org · 19/08/2025the new safari in ios 26 isn’t too bad once you get used to it - it’s an extra tap for some actions but if you already know the swipe up from the address bar gesture to see all tabs, it’s pretty manageable 000 0
YS Chung @yschung.org · 16/08/2025just realised how ios 26 manages to add specular highlights to icons that are already white - they're using HDR so it can actually go beyond regular white 120 2
YS Chung @yschung.org · 20/06/2025this whole experience reminded me that “newer” doesn’t automatically mean “better for your specific needs.” sometimes the older, more foundational tool gives you the freedom you need 💭 my takeaway: pick the tool based on what you need, not just what's new or familiar. 000 0
YS Chung @yschung.org · 20/06/2025🧩 SwiftUI is more like building with only a React component library AND you have no way to see or edit its source - okay until you need something the authors didn’t anticipate, then you’re stuck, or need some elaborate workarounds 200 2
YS Chung @yschung.org · 20/06/2025an analogy from my experience so far: 🛠️ UIKit feels like building with vanilla HTML/CSS/JS - almost complete control over positioning, styling, and behaviour. you can push design boundaries without fighting the framework, but you need to define them yourself 100 1
YS Chung @yschung.org · 20/06/2025in an unexpected plot twist, i actually prefer UIKit over SwiftUI 🤯 i’ve been prototyping an iOS app to explore apple’s liquid glass. got started with SwiftUI cuz i thought as it’s declarative it’d be easier (from my web background). after hitting some walls, tried UIKit & was surprised i prefer it 100 1

YS Chung @yschung.org · 03/12/2024BCNY seems to believe people want a browser that does the browsing for them, get them the result ASAP - but for me personally, the joy of using a browser is in browsing the web itself Also kinda ironic for 'The Browser Company' to make a product that makes people browse less 010 1
