And you people don’t seem to understand that UX doesn’t need be the same. Websites can make the prompts default to no, even hiding them by default behind an icon.

There’s no reason you can’t make the UX cater to the use case such that it’s clear and secure by default.

It’s just tiring dealing with people who channel their hatred for JavaScript essentially into nerfing the only truly open platform we have, one with far better primitives than the native ones and with a massive potential that is only held back by the feet dragging of every major company (Google and Apple both).

Then you go to HN where you’d expect we could agree that a web that complemented apps if done well should exist, and instead we have nerds gaslighting other nerds using every fake reason they can find (my dad wouldn’t understand the notification, or, good because I don’t want powerful sites) when in reality they just lack any imagination that would easily allow them to have both worlds, thus keeping those who do have some imagination stuck in this special hell of having to re-make the same points over and over.
