I saw this today as I opened Audacity for recording a vinyl record I bought and was annoyed at the UI, which prompted me to search "Audacity Qt" in hopes of seeing the audacity team or someone taking it up, and well, this was the first result. A job opening if someone wants to rewrite Audacity into Qt.

if there were other browser engines on iOS there'd also be only one browser to fix and it would be whichever had the bug since they don't share code and wouldn't share them bugs

I've only heard about message bubble color discrimination from the US and I think it's some real bullshit.

You can use Google SMS app which has a web version that works like WhatsApp web (connects to your phone via a scannable QR and the phone app does the actual sending)
