Or even just test things in safari. Guess I have to spend at least 200$ on an ipod touch if i want to test in some sort of version of safari, significantly more if i want to test on a non iDevice (with an actual console etc)

Obviously for a business this is a neglegible cost but for someone just making a hobby app, it's ridiculous. microsoft at least offers VMs with edge and ie on it

Sorry, why do you want to make a hobby app for a platform you don't own?


Because you want it to be cross-platform? Just because it's a hobby project doesn't mean you don't give a shit about the user experience. I mean it's not like you have to recreate it from the ground up to make your webapp work in safari, it'll mostly be small tweaks.


For scratching one's own itch? A hobby app can still be a useful tool, even if nobody else is using it.
