The WebKit team at Apple are growing their DevRel presence: https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/200565512/web-technologies-evangelist-safari-webkit. Signal-boosting this job ad because that's good news for the Web! (According to @npub1e7x…l0wu, it's only for people willing to live in the Bay Area.)

Now, when a user clicks a link, if it matches the scope of a web app that the user has added to their Dock, that link will open in the web app instead of their default web browser". https://webkit.org/blog/15443/news-from-wwdc24-webkit-in-safari-18-beta/ 👏
