It's even worse on the latest releases of Safari. The scroll container doesn't even render! Wasn't expecting that.

It seems it doesn't require a mix of horizontal-tb and vertical-rl. Purely vertical-rl is enough. Will link this video in the Bugzilla report.

I think I've got a repro! Both a scrolling issue (as the pan gesture passes straight through the overlay) and a rendering issue (as the bottom portion of the overlay unexpectedly goes black).
Just cleaning it up, then will file it.

@smfr.bsky.social did offer to raise visibility – I just hadn't had any time to try to make a repro, sorry! I'm trying to make a repro now, just failing to work out the exact combination of factors behind the ebook that was causing the issue.

I'd be happy to get WebKit folks to look at this if you're willing to share you app and the content. You can do so by using Feedback Assistant to file an issue, or bugs.webkit.org for things that are OK to be public.

This is another big deal. We can write React Native modules in Rust now, with a standard approach rather than deep, specialist expertise.
Heck, we can code in C, C++, C#, Swift, Zig, Go, too – pick whichever you feel most comfortable in!

Personally, I'm most excited about the prospect of using code-generation of bindings between native Rust libraries and the JavaScript engine! Powered by the napi.rs project!

See this PR in which I set up Metro to special-case certain file extensions.
I transpile .wvts files from TS to JS, then wrap in a string (to inject into a WebView).
In your case, you’d transpile .purs files to JS ESM modules, without wrapping in a string afterwards.

The number of people who didn’t even bother reading Anders and Ryan’s summaries of how the language evaluation went, and just parrot bastardised takes by lazy influencers, is just aggravating

my understanding is that you are also not allowed to just write css anymore and you have to use some sort of meteorological phenomenon to manage it for you

Whoops, obviously forgot to rename "compendium" -> "paranovel" for the screenshot.
Well, there's plenty of other glaring errors in there anyway 😅

Very cool, and great writing as always. I’ve heard this “arrays, not trees” sentiment for AST-traversal come up a few times in the last couple years.
I heard on the Devtools podcast that Tailwind and/or VoidZero (can’t recall) are investigating the same. The idea came up on Hacker News too.
