Some on the old functionality isn’t there yet, like tabbed browsing of subs/communities. And it lacks some core lemmy stuff like blocking. It does, however, cover everything you need for basic scrolling and enjoying. Infinity was never my top reddit app, but it was still great. I think, if development of this version keeps up pace, it’s going to become very popular.
I mean, are we sure the font used in that screenshot isn’t monospace?
If you compare the two lines after the first comment, the columns seem to align quite well (though I cannot read some of that)…
The only word I’m truly sure about, is “Chain”, and I can mostly read “name”.
The “static” and ”char", I would not be able to make out, without knowing that they’re keywords in C.
And the “create” is pretty much unreadable to me, but it would make sense to be “create_chain”, since it returns a Chain object.
tl;dr - This is (mostly) intended functionality by the browser. Though the devs could have fixed it, it’s way easier and faster to just leave it like that.
The HTML input element allows you to set the type of data you expect people to enter, which provides some basic validation. In this case, it’s using the type of number, for obvious reasons. This disallows all letters except e, (for scientific notation) and all symbols except a single .. It also causes the number entry keyboard to appear on mobile devices, if supported.
There is no specific phone number data type, so the developers of that site used the more generic number type. The browser can’t tell the difference, and so adds the individual up/down buttons as it would with any other standard number input.
It’s possible to remove by using a more generic input type of text and adding in validation manually to limit entry to only digits, but it seems like a reasonable shortcut to take.
Also, I just found out that there is in fact an input type called tel for phone numbers but it doesn’t include any validation (apparently because of how varied the formatting of phone numbers can be throughout the world). So it only does the numeric keyboard on mobile devices. This, plus some validation, would have been the best choice I think.
Not necessarily a bad thing. If your method of invocation gives context about its possible use cases. You can make the program more safe because you know it’s being used appropriately. If you’re just passing a pointer around anything could happen to it. So it’s hard to help the programmer not make mistakes
And for anyone who thinks CSS isn’t a real programming language, you’re wrong because it’s Turing complete. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to develop an app in Pokemon Yellow and PowerPoint.
