You are right too, I´m afraid the hosting is out of my hands, I only get a space on a ftp to upload html contents, and develope only a small small portion of my time. Once things are working (code wise) I do not mess with the code or setup for years. Only update the contents/maps and things work fine. But all of a sudden things do not work becauce, yes, you know...some smartass did this or that. I think there must be many like me, maby not pure developers but "semi-developers" that work with other things most of their time. Also, before, one still had to give permission for the geolocation to work, enable this and that on the phones activly. And or many websites and webapps that need to be recoded or set up on a HTTPS to function.
I know I need to keep track what is happening/news in the field, but usally I think of improvments, new possibilities to coding, like when HTML 5 was introduced... not this, this just makes me frustrated and makes me loose all the joy in it.
