Yeah, I have a relatively simple script with webUI for organising photos and videos I take on my NAS.
Over the years I’ve had to upgrade the ffmpeg dependency, which resulted in breaking changes a couple times and maintenance.
I’ve also had to spend nearly a whole day fixing the webUI when iOS’s wonderful liquid glass came out.
How did liquid glass break your Web UI?
Liquid Glass changed dimensions and viewport measurements for fixed position elements, amongst a whole host of positioning related bugs:

Many of the bugs were fixed in 26.1, but still, I had to fix it to use it.
I was surprised that not much of the entire web was broken, but a cursory search of commits showed that the WebKit/Apple team took the approach of coding in site specific hacks for popular sites (eg instagram, google search!) for iOS 26.
Maybe I’m not looking in the right places, but I rarely see fixed position elements in modern web layouts— I imagine that’s why you didn’t see more disruption.
