@jakearchibald.com plz fix

This was almost certainly a skill issue on my part. 😅

Here are the horrors if you want to have a go at figuring it out: github.com/samwho/visua...

The animations consistently didn’t play for me, but only on Firefox and only after the site been deployed. I couldn’t reproduce it locally, despite the code being identical. Leads me to believe it’s a timing problem, though I never did try network slowness emulation in the dev tools 🤔

The thing is that Firefox on iOS is not even Firefox. But whenever I see multiple rAF's nested, especially with a setTimeout sprinkled in, I gotta summon Jake.

huh yeah. Did Chrome iOS have the same issue?

Huh, yeah, that's very weird, since it's the same rendering engine.

I’ve redeployed the broken version. Source maps available. Video shows it’s fine in Safari and Chrome but consistently doesn’t work in Firefox. I am wholly expecting this to be caused by me doing something stupid.

Sorry, just realised the link isn’t anywhere in the thread: samwho.dev/big-o.

I mean, something working in one browser and not the other is a failure of either interoperability or specification.
