FWIW, we've been building the infrastructure to learn which sites have low accept rates and prevent prompting from them.

Although it made me happy when I read it, the more I think about it the more scary it feels

It's scary when platforms start doing policing of content. Oh wait.

All platforms are mediators; they try to make as good a market as possible between user and developer intent. The web is unique in taking the user's side more often, and that's a *good* thing.

While I see why on the user’s behalf, this feels like it would erode developer trust in the web platform if the ability to call an API became non-deterministic. Is there any part of the platform that does this already?

This is the same argument that folks make about PWA prompting heuristics, and yet we're doing a good job there of continuing to improve the accept rates for everyone. I hear the frustration, but the evidence doesn't back it up.

Oh, I meant it would erode trust because it started as a definite and it may start to fail randomly. I appreciate the way the PWA heuristics work, but that was advertised in that way from the start.

An app may only have one time it needs to ask for push permission, like the flight alerts in
@gauntface's example, and if it doesn't have permission to ask at that point, then a key feature is ruined. That's not a problem for add to homescreen.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

FYI execCommand is an example where calling the method doesnt work unless called directly after user interaction. As a result, it's a pain to use as a developer.

That's not strictly true. `execCommand` operates on the selection, which you can programmatically set. But yes, editing is a pain.

using them for wysiwyg side w/ HAX recently it gets really annoying when paired w/ timing of safari and these events; button taps unselect:)
