Platforms are competitions, and the web is losing. We need to do a very concrete, relatively easy set of things to claw our way back.

@maarteuh @nolan You'll be unsurprised to find I'm interested to know what's on that list. Have you written it up anywhere?

@slightlyoff @nolan at least nfc access to read id documents, other things may be solvable with e.g Fido but otherwise native like pin or face scan access. And of course we’d need to get users to use this instead of native

@maarteuh @nolan Uhhhh....

@slightlyoff @nolan for nfc the issue is I think the type of support; https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_NFC_API vs https://www.icao.int/Security/FAL/PKD/BVRT/Pages/Document-readers.aspx but it’s been two years since I looked at it. Webauthn I know but it’d still require a major change on our side , that’s why I mentioned it as a possible option but not ideal

Alex Russell

@maarteuh @nolan Sounds like something we can absolutely spec out.

@slightlyoff If it wouldnt be too much trouble, I'd love if this table could be sorted by each column.

Alex Russell

@nickchomey Sure.

Alex Russell

@nickchomey Fixed (in a very hacky way).

Nick Chomey

@slightlyoff Works great! Didn't even need React!

One nitpick - perhaps move the links for the INP, LCP and CLS articles from the column headers to a footnote of the table, so that we dont click them when trying to sort?

And, perhaps add something (be it a simple caption above, or perhaps even a sort indicator in the column headers) to notify people that it is sortable?

Alex Russell

@nickchomey Yeah, I thought about the links, then thought about going to bed. Good suggestion on the footnote placement.
