I was interested in this chat and installed it locally, to test. That was super easy with docker. It works, it looks like it works well. It doesn’t have any notifications on my iPhone, it says I should enable them in the settings, but I couldn’t find where exactly, there was no Campfire as they say. It is so simple, the chat, that I expected it to work on an old iPad 3 with iOS 9.3.5. It doesn’t. I’m not surprised, and I don’t expect it to work. All I mean, it looks so simple, I thought I won’t be too surprised if it would work with the obsolete Safari.

Surprised to see four same links over the week, but all of them have just one comment. Aren’t people not even remotely interested in the app? Not even investigate the code, huh?

I think using importmaps might be why it is restricted (see https://github.com/basecamp/once-campfire/blob/main/app/cont...) to some browser versions.

One can try to migrate it to vitejs for example or any other JS/CSS build tool and it might have good chances maybe to work on older browsers.
