Does not work on Chrome, and actually freezes the tab
Same for me. Worked smoothly in Firefox (MacOS Desktop)

How does bun compare? Does it have similar features as well?
yes bun does both of the things mentioned in the parent comment:
> Unlike other npm clients, Bun does not execute arbitrary lifecycle scripts like postinstall for installed dependencies. Executing arbitrary scripts represents a potential security risk.
https://bun.com/docs/pm/cli/install#lifecycle-scripts
> To protect against supply chain attacks where malicious packages are quickly published, you can configure a minimum age requirement for npm packages. Package versions published more recently than the specified threshold (in seconds) will be filtered out during installation.

I needed this post a year ago when I was looking for this exact thing. I did end up going with Puppeteer because I needed it for something else that I couldn't avoid. I use a large list of flags with it to launch the most minimal version of headless Chrome that I can.
I am going to look into switching to MigraDoc and see if i can drop puppeteer
Thanks for this great research!

A while ago I was at an agency and we got a client that was a very popular weather app. Things like mapbox and some analytics libs (can't remember exactly, this was 2019) The project was a big redesign of the app. We looked into using Xamarin to see if we can at least write the core logic in C#. The issue we ran into is that there were many third party libraries we needed to import that weren't converted to Xamarin/C#. There was a way to try and have it automatically bind but never worked properly. In the end we just went pure native. Turns out Xamarin was a fun toy framework but Microsoft couldn't point us to anything serious and battle tested in production written in it.
I'm curious to see if .NET MAUI will surpass Xamarin and actually get serious adoption. They have to figure out the third party binding issue.
Awww... I was so much hoping for an iPhone that will fit into my pocket. The 1st iPhone SE was the perfect form factor. But no, Apple's phones just had to grow and grow and grow like cancer ...
In my opinion, the fact that Apple is now selling a bag to carry your oversized phone around in, is an admission that they failed to make phones that are convenient to carry.
I was also hoping it was a small phone announcement but it not being part of a keynote didn't give me high hopes.
I've been on Android since day 1 but I'm thinking about switching to iPhone. If they ever made foldable (clamshell style, not book style) phone I would buy it immediately. I just want a small phone.
Yes I could get an Android foldable that already exists but I like to stick with Pixels and they don't have one yet and I'm kinda of done with Pixels. They are crap quality.
Just write 2 native UIs in the 2 platform native languages and share a common core written in any language that offers a C like FFI.
How hard could it be?
With Swift SDK for Android, you can write all of your code logic in Swift for both and only need write the native UI related code for Android and iOS.
Working at a company that uses react-native I wish nothing more than for the end of app stores and differing platform languages.
We're heavily considering just having a website next year with a mobile app using webview, and then native code for the native notifications, GPS and healthkit / health connect.
I feel like AI is changing the equation, its nearly better to write your business UI 3 times one for each platform.
Is Cordova still actively developed? Or are people just rolling their own per OS these days?

I think "people" deserves clarification: Almost the entire thing was written by a single person and with a _seriously_ impressive feature set. The launch video is well worth a quick watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15_-hgsX2V0&pp=ygUJY29weXBhc...
I don't say this to diminish anyone else's contribution or criticize the software, just to call out the absolutely herculean feat this one person accomplished.
There was an HN discussion about it 3 months ago with responses from the author, in case anyone is interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44711519
I'd like to recommend one as well: The City & the City, by China Miéville. A delightful, unique experience! Fresh and original, “fantasy science fiction”. Not a big fan of detective stories and noir, but this is something else.
I loved Perdido Street Station and The Scar. Haven't read this one but I'm adding it to my list now. Thanks!
