extend list of browsers in documentation #39

Open markusschloesser opened 3 years ago

markusschloesser commented 3 years ago

you only list edge and chrome at https://docs.electra.one/editor.html#electra-app-account , which is

  1. imprecise cos edge only supports webmidi in the newer chromium-based versions, not the older ones
  2. too restrictive, because all chromium based browsers support webmidi, even mobile ones. See https://caniuse.com/midi for up-to-date support, note that this list isn't even exhaustive because I use Vivaldi as my main browser and it works fine with webmidi

I think the wording needs to be simple, Im not sure everyone will know if there browser supports webmidi or not.

perhaps to be precise, include a version number?

more generally, I think there perhaps should be a 'supported' list, so users know which browsers and versions are 'tested'

then perhaps a 'Working Browser' topic in the forums, where users can list browsers that they are using and know to work. i.e. I think we can expect the list of known working browsers coudl reasonably exceed the officail tested/supported browsers. this is a pretty common scenario in this area.

(this might help if there are other browser quirks which caused issues beyond the webmidi requirement)
