News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

True that. Apple has strong economic incentives to nerf PWAs, and I don't share their privacy concerns about web bluetooth. If anything, forcing users who need bluetooth to install shady third-party browsers creates way more risk. Based on beacio's download numbers, quite a few people would rather have web bluetooth available in their default browser.
Strong argument in favor of web vs native apps. If you need bluetooth on iOS checkout the web bluetooth iOS safari extension i've been working on recently: https://beacio.com

Web bluetooth for ios (via safari extension). It's already way better than any 3rd party browser available in appstore.

Nice! Do you know if the Austrian billa (REWE's subsidiary) is using the same api?
have a look at src/bootstrap/state.ts :D

Could someone please explain in simple terms what is the legal basis for these “legal requests”?
are they actually banning subscription accounts for using the 3rd party cli's?

Show HN: Upload training plans defined in natural language into you Garmin watch

https://github.com/wklm/garmin-workouts-mcp

I got tired of clicking through 47 menus just to create a simple interval workout in Garmin Connect. So I built garmin-workouts-mcp - a Python tool that turns Markdown files into Garmin workouts and syncs them automatically. As an amateur runner with decent fitness (VO2max 57), I decided to get serious about structured training this year. Problem: I started late, and Garmin's built-in plans are...

Good stuff! What is your vibe coding setup for flutter? (Models, custom instructions etc). How granular are you with tasks given to the agent?
Quite an interesting perspective, sadly it’ll likely never get implemented in any capitalistic economy

I like the compactness of the UI, really well done!

I was trying to build the app locally, but it's failing:

``` wojtek@Mac Hacki % flutter run Launching lib/main.dart on iPhone 16 Pro in debug mode... Running Xcode build... Xcode build done. 51.3s Failed to build iOS app Error (Xcode): lib/blocs/stories/stories_bloc.dart:254:15: Error: Property 'isEmpty' cannot be accessed on 'List<int>?' because it is potentially null.

Could not build the application for the simulator. Error launching application on iPhone 16 Pro. ```

Could someone explain in simple terms, what’s so tricky about spinning off a v2-compatible chromium fork?
