I have users that have issues with Safari, CSS and Javascripts ones.
I MUST own an Apple device to debug anything.
I'm sorry but as a Free Software Web Developer I can't spend 2K€ on a Mac to just fix a CSS issue.
- SyrupThinker 8mo agoFrequently, but not always, I can reproduce such bugs using Epiphany [1] or other WebKit based browsers. That's at least somewhat cheaper when it works. [1]: https://webkit.org/downloads/ https://webkit.org/downloads/
- detourdog 8mo agoWhen I was making money as a developer I purchased wintel systems to verify my work. I thought of it as the cost of doing business. Many Macs cost less then 2K euros.
- tcoff91 8mo agoA Mac mini is pretty affordable. Also you can use browserstack.
- wpm 8mo agoYou can buy a refurb Mac mini for €589. Macs haven't started at €2K since the early 90s.
- swiftcoder 8mo agoYou can also buy a used-like-new one on eBay for half that

- baw-bag 8mo agoThey are all telling you "Just buy a mac". Exactly the point that you and I were downvoted for saying.
