Introduce them to https://neocities.org and https://csszengarden.com to have fun whilst learning good ol' HTML and CSS.

On iOS, go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Experimental Features. (Or on macOS desktop, from the Develop menu.)

Scroll to the bottom of the list.

There are 4 WebXR APIs behind a flag.

Why waste precious WebKit resources on implementing WebXR APIs in Apple's browser engine… if WebXR will hypothetically never be shipped to Safari stable?

Agreed, it leaves a lot to be desired. I'd recommend removing the "smooth scrolling" completely.

very pretty and usable design. found some decent films already. overall, great execution – compared to similar services I've used.

I like that it works on mobile too, but why does the page need to be reloaded when I resize the browser width? upon resizing, I lost my scroll position and I noticed the text all became red at tablet-ish width.

Nice concept :) Agree with shk re: keyboard navigation. Also, images don't seem to be working in diffs.

Even when the form was valid, it didn't work for me (checked in both Chrome and Firefox). I had to manually remove the `disabled` attribute on the submit button to post the form.

If you install the app from its detail page, there is a message telling you where the app now lives. The "Free" install button becomes a "Launch" button that opens the actual executable.

On the search results pages, we don't add any messaging. I've filed an enhancement bug to consider exposing this to users: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=913728
