I don’t understand your use case 100% but it sounds like the native Apple Shortcuts app could do the trick. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/shortcuts/welcome/ios


thanks. I want to use web apps instead of native apps. So far the easiest approach seems to be asking users to install bookmarklet in a Mac and sync the bookmarks to the iPhone.


I think this is a very narrow view on what’s possible with the tracking pixel. I can do basic cross device tracking with the help of this pixel as well as personalisation and marketing automation. E.g. More active newsletter readers get sent more newsletters or different marketing offers. Less active subscribers get nudged via personal sounding emails: „What did we do wrong? Do you still want to hear from us?“


Nope, not super screwed at all. Safari even limits http cookies if the cname doesnt match.

„On Safari 14 (requires Big Sur) and on all major iOS and iPadOS 14.2+ browser apps, expiration of cookies set with Set-Cookie HTTP response headers is 7 days at most, if the response originates from a subdomain that has a CNAME alias to a cross-site origin“

You should read the paper, it literally discusses how they were getting around that and discovered vulnerabilities because of it.


In Switzerland there is Pumpipumpe (https://pumpipumpe.ch/en/sticker-en/). They offer stickers to put on your mailbox with tools and sports equipment you have and are willing to share. I believe this could work pretty well in apartment buildings.


For ad profiles: There is Ad Nauseam, which tries to click every single ad that is shown to you in order to pollute your profile. https://adnauseam.io/


This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don't understand why I would need to discover new products. Usually I buy products based on a specific need or use case.


The point of the upcoming platform is not only to discover products, but to help early startups gaining attention to there products. Both you and me, do of course buy products based on a specific need, but sometimes finding something that you never new existed is fun in itself.


So if I choose to import cookies to Brave (which is the default option on first launch), I will have these preset cookies from other browsers as well?


Brave wouldn't know if the cookies were collected during a Chrome first-run, or explicit user navigation. They could also be picked up by direct chains during normal browsing.

To my knowledge, this type of knowledge would require updates to the underlying cookie specification itself, where additional meta information records the type of action responsible for setting the cookie (automatic vs user-navigation). But then, I would assume, everybody storing cookies would do so as 'user-navigation' to avoid getting cleaned out.
