@matigo You need them trees to get leaves and improve the view.

I like how Apple does it. I like my mobile devices to be appliances. For anything else you have the desktop and all it’s APIs. I actually think the more simplistic early iOS devices are often more pleasant to use than the increasingly complex and beefed-up recent ones. I don’t want phones and tablets to get too computer-like. You chaps criticise the App Stores but no one has to distribute that way on the desktop. (If Apple ever stops mac apps from working outside the App Store (or forces you to only use its developer tools for money, then I’ll be worried).
@joeo10 The update at the bottom of the article implies it may not be a problem. I’m struggling to understand why it’s critical for offline web apps to be a thing anyway. Why do geeks get so fetishistic about browsers? I used to use Google Bookmarks years ago. That may have been an offline web app, I’m not sure. It certainly kept a ton of content, even for pages that no longer existed on the net, which was why I used it; it was like a personal web archive. But surely everything an offline web app can do can be done in a dedicated app. I have to assume that programmers just love the idea of only coding once. Understandable I suppose.
As far as I know, barbers are closed. This is beyond the Pale. If I have to hack away at my own barnet with scissors until I look like I live in a shop doorway, that's the last nail in the coffin of our civilisation. (Of course, actually living in a shop doorway would be considerably worse, but there are lower expectations on tramps.)
@whoisashygirl Nineteen? That’s very good going for a dog isn’t it?

@jws I don’t use it much either. Probably no one does, but I’ll try to keep mental notes on what I see.
@jws I’m not sure if I did 'load more' (I suspect I did). Anyway, I just now tried to flush things out and emulate the problem: I went in and out of the various streams a few times and did the pull down to reload on global once or twice. After this I noticed things were OK in global down to 'load more' but as soon as I loaded more it retrieved stuff that was too old. So then I logged out and in, waited for Global to populate, scrolled to the bottom (all good), loaded next page (all good). So it seems to work fine for the current page but sometimes suffers a 'knock on the head' further back than that until you log out. Not a big deal.
Scrolling back in Macchiato I see lots of posts are not loaded between Sunday night and Monday afternoon. Not that this is a critical matter.
