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.

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.

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

The main one I like was the little haptic “knock” when upvoting/downvoting/replying via swipe.

It’s so satisfying!

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 don’t know if it’s possible on a PWA.

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.

There’s adjustable haptic feedback on Memmy for iOS.
