After nine years, my job is ending at the end of the month (cost reduction), so I'm looking for new opportunities.
🧑💻 I'm a frontend developer with 15+ years of experience. Designer's eye, big on React/TypeScript, accessibility, clean HTML/CSS, and the open web. I love cross-disciplinary teams and products that try to be humble and do a bit of good. Interested in adjacent roles as well.
Based in Germany, available remotely work.
Niche mobile web development question
In #Friendica we have a couple links which click event is captured by a listener.
On desktop browsers, this works as expected and the underlying href attribute is ignored (unless clicked with the middle mouse button, which is expected).
On the #iOS #Safari app, this also works as expected. However, when I add Friendica as a home screen app, a click on these links triggers both the event listener and navigates to the href URL.
Does anyone know why web views behave differently and/or how to prevent the double action specifically in this context?

I believe people on the #Fediverse are more likely to add alternative text to the images they post than on any other popular social media platform, that's great for #Accessibility. But it isn't the end-all-be-all of it. For example, when one of my contacts posts in German or Finnish or Farsi, I can copy the text and plug it in a translator to figure out what they meant.
However, when they share a picture including text in the same language, even if they transcribed the text in the picture in the alternative text attribute, I can't access it on mobile at all, and even on desktop I can't copy it from the default popup on mouse hover.
I tried to dabble with #CSS to reveal the alt-text attribute value using pseudo-content, but it doesn't work since we're dealing with an #HTML <img> which is an empty element by definition. Is there any other way to expose this attribute value other than just parse the text in the post body directly?
