Safari's date-picker is the cause of 1/3 of our customer support issues

...and obviously we're building a workaround. But I'm absolutely flabbergasted that a standard <input type="date"> HTML field, in a standard browser, from a company that bases its reputation good design, could be so dreadful.

The context

I'm the developer for a startup that sells a genetic test to recommend medications for high blood pressure. For medical reasons we need to know our customers' birth date. Most of our customers are in their 60s or older. We've found that many of them use iPads or iPhones. And they're the ones who complain to our customer support that our site is unusable.

The problem

var request = require('request');
var async = require('async');
var faker = require('faker');
var _ = require('lodash');

if (!process.env.PEAK_PERIOD_MINS) {
  process.env.PEAK_PERIOD_MINS = '30';
}
var PEAK_PERIOD_MINS = parseInt(process.env.PEAK_PERIOD_MINS, 10) * 60 * 1000;
var MAX_CONCURRENT = parseInt(process.env.MAX_CONCURRENT, 10) || 100;

How we implemented Web Share

Written by: Marcos Cáceres Technical reviewers: Kagami Sascha Rosylight, Sid Vishnoi.

This post describes how we implemented the Web Share API in Gecko, which is exposed as a DOM API to the Web. As it can be challenging to know how to implement new features in Gecko, it's intended to serve as a reference guide for other Gecko developers who need to implement similar DOM APIs in the future. For the impatient, the final implementation is available in Phabricator.

Before you start - some general advice about how things work

The following subsections give some general advice about what you should expect as you embark on implementing a new DOM feature.

I use a lot of photos from unsplash as headers. This shortcode works in two ways to make that easier:

1. Standard use

2. Automatic parsing of filename

Using netcat and ssh tunnels, create a shared clipboard allowing client and server clipboards to be fused

Serve pbcopy and pbpaste on Mac's localhost

NOTE: That we are making the assumption that the clipboards are sending and receiving UTF-8 encoded bytes
