Afaik haptic feedback is only possible on Android, not on iOS for web apps. Has something changed there lately? I’d love to have some haptics in the app.

    Hopefully the feature is added soon, it was one of my favourite features of Apollo

    I’m not a wefwef contributor, but I’ve looked through their repo. (I’m also unfamiliar with capabilities of Android PWAs, although a brief look indicates that haptics may be possible on PWAs in Android.)

    technical: wefwef appears to be using Ionic Framework to build the PWA. This can integrate with Capacitor to make a native app hosting the PWA, allowing certain native calls from PWA -> host OS, such as triggering haptics.

    non-technical: Yes, but it won’t be possible in the PWA: devs will need to package the PWA as an app for App Store / Play Store, and also add some new code to enable haptics.

    I would love that too. I’m getting use to wefwef (even with the little lag I’m getting from some action), and that haptic feedback would be a good addition. I really think that Devs might need to look at the possibility of making a standalone app

      I think it’s possible on Android but not on iOS. Maybe iOS 17 changed something but I don’t know

        Yeah I think it might be fixed in the new iOS 17

        I’ve been working on spinning up my own Lemmy and wefwef server. Having some issues but once I get it working I can mess around with it some more.
