ryandrake | on: Show HN: I built the most over-engineered Deal With It emoji generator
Infinite spinner for me: Stuck at "Loading AI models for face detection..." forever. I'd want to fix that before sharing it with recruiters as an example project.

Desktop Safari 18.0.1 (18619.1.26.111.11, 18619)

As a FE dev I’m not surprised something does not work in Safari.

I love Apple but Safari is the new IE, it’s more and more common for feature to take x then fixes for Safari take x^2, it is a joke of a browser.

Any console errors?

Yep, a bunch of warnings and then:

Hope that helps!

Thank you! Yeah, that looks like the pipeline from mediapipe (used for ML face detection) has troubles initializing the WebGL context. I don't see immediately any settings for disabling WebGL in Safari, but I'm sure there's some feature flags for that. Do you remember touching any settings related to this? I'm wondering if it's related to some browser settings, an extension (?) or something else.

Edit: tested on M2 and Safari 18.0 and I cannot reproduce it. Updating now to 15.0.1 to see if that makes a difference.

As another data point it works on my M1 with Safari 17.2
