please upgrade ur browser, because FileSaver.js isn't supported in older browsers... and i've disabled Blob.js for now...

btw which browser are u using?



I, for one, am using the android browser, quite recently updated.

Also, we'll all appreciate it if you upgrade your grammar and spelling.


1. Please don't criticise people's grammar, spelling, etc. here. We're here to comment on and critique people's work, not their comments.

2. Android Browser isn't modern, it usually has lagging support for web standards.


Having English as a second language is one thing, using shortcuts like "u" and "ur" is quite another. I hope you can forgive me for finding that annoying. I know I'm not the only one. It's clear from their writing on the app itself and the post title that the OP can do better when they want to. HN is usually a place where you can expect that people will put a little effort into making their comments look decent. This is a good thing about HN. Looking back, I was too snarky, but that's mostly what I wanted to convey.


Okay I'll keep it on my Mind.


And I'll be more careful with my wording and try to not spark massive useless subthreads. :)


1. I would disagree (and I do not know what makes you say what we're here for, by the way), without this critiques he (and I, not a native speaker either) would never know that his/her english is broken, which is sort of a big deal if you're communicating your ideas on HN or any other platform that use english as their primary language (without even having to mention the recent debate over 'foreign accents').


"Android Browser isn't modern"

I second that. Use Firefox for Android, Opera, Dolphin... They are all better than the stock browser.


Firefox and Chrome both rendered text funny for me. The font size would suddenly change halfway down the front page of reddit. I didn't see a strong reason not to go back to the stock browser.


i'm sorry, english isn't my native language. and i haven't tested it on mobile devices. the design is responsive but i think FileSaver.js isn't supported. i'd glad if u try it on desktop browser.

thanks.


This is the kind of comment that sums up where I dislike Hacker News. "Android Browser" means not Chrome for Android, so it must be a bit behind.


As he's stated, English is not his first language and is not the first language of many HN users. Leave the poor guy alone and the android browser is behind a few years when it comes to standards.

Upgrade to chrome or Firefox.
