- My first thing! I've been playing with random things in
- Docker containers on random local devices recently, but I didn't
- like using IPs, or ports, or managing DNS servers, or adding DNS
- entries to all my clients. I love how Traefik configures itself
- based on Docker compose labels, so I made a tool that does the same
- thing, but for using mDNS to publish `.local` addresses:
-
I swear that I looked around for something like this prior to
- building it myself, and somehow I didn't find anything - but turns
- out many others have built something similar. Check them out too, see
- what makes sense to you!
+ I love the idea of PWAs (progressive web apps,
+ MDN): develop & debug like a website, no app store, works (...mostly)
+ everywhere. Of course, there are some limitations, and each platform
+ works slightly differently, but it still seems like a nice way to
+ create simple apps that don't use too many APIs (or prototype them, at
+ least). I spent a day figuring out how to get a PWA working in iOS,
+ create notifications, and to trigger notifications from the server.
