Does anybody knows if there's a browser whith Web MIDI support? ... I've tried the samples on http://webaudio.github.io/web-midi-api/ but they throw me an error that my navigator has not such properties. Im working on google-chrome and firefox. If, there's no browsers that support MIDI, when do u estimate we will have one, maybe in the next 2 years?
According to this posting (dated June 28th 2013), "initial experimental support" for Web MIDI is now available in Chrome Canary.
As of now, there are no browsers that support the Web MIDI API yet. First off, the spec isn't finalized yet and there were a couple of changes made from the original spec (function names and procedures could change anytime).
You can, however, enable your browser to support the API by installing the Jazz plugin and using Chris Wilson's Web MIDI API shim. I have personally tried it and it really works! :)
As of writing this, Web Midi is now available in regular Chrome (not just canary), though it is still an experimental feature, so it must be enabled manually at chrome://flags/#enable-web-midi
try this one, jasmid to play midi files directly on chrome/ff, no plugin needed
One of the authors of the Web MIDI API has created this shim, which enables you to work with the Web MIDI API in today’s browsers:

Trying to figure out if Unity's LWRP could run in AirConsole build.
Apparently LWRP is supported in WebGL2 builds, so the question is - does AirConsole themselves fully support it? If not fully - what features are and what are not supported?
I am not very familiar with Unity nor LWRP, but to clarify:
AirConsole and it's games always run in a browser (except on AndroidTV where it may run as a native game). In the end AirConsole is "just" a website or Javascript API. Consequently if the browser supports WebGL 2.0, then it also works with AirConsole.
However, Web GL 2 support seems to be missing on e.g. Safari, which is one of the platforms supported by AirConsole. A game should run on all major browsers.

I hope this explanation helps you.
have done my due diligence, and not found any other posts that answer this question, but as usual, if you know a similar question, point me that way!
I noticed a long time back that Libspotify has been dicontinued:
(https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/libspotify/)
So, my question is - what should we do for developing Desktop applications?
They do state: "We hope to be able to provide you with a new library for other platforms." But, this has been going on since 2015!
I have seen many projects in GitHub still using Libspotify - so what should we do? An update was promised "in the upcoming months" but I've not seen anything yet.
What should we do for developing Desktop Applications?
We at Spotify don't currently provide playback as part of our platform offering outside of our iOS and Android SDKs, and I don't have any updates on that at the moment. As mentioned on the website, we hope to be able to provide playback SDKs for more platforms in the future. We don't support any new development on libspotify.
You can use the Spotify Web API to interact with Spotify in a variety of ways, including getting information about metadata, and accessing/modifying user libraries and playlists, which may be useful. You can also use the Applescript API to control playback on macOS, which may also help.
The Spotify Web API is pretty straight forward to use. Of course it defines the protocol rather than implements it so it is OS independent.
I put together a few classes to help unwrap some of the JSON parameters simply. These were written in Swift for macOS.
Is there a good and reliable library or method, or whatever, that can detect if the request is coming from a mobile environment?
I found a few packages, but non seems to work properly. I am looking for a basic/simple one that is able to detect just this: isMobile; isDesktop. Needs to be reliable, up to date and working.
If there is none free, even payed solutions would be acceptable. I am not looking for 100% detection, but I expect that top most popular devices to be detected without problem.
I am looking for a nodejs (express) solution, and/or a PHP one.
For PHP you can use Mobile-detect. According to its official description in Github, Mobile_Detect is a lightweight PHP class for detecting mobile devices.
For node.js you can use mobile-detect.js. It's a port of Mobile-detect to javascript.
DeviceAtlas has a good article:
How to detect a mobile browser by Pawel Piejko.
They have examples with PHP, Java and Python and they have API to use. It is a a paid service but with free trial.
Mobile detection is a complicated problem. Of course it's easy to detect an iPhone with some client-side JavaScript, but mobile devices are not only iPhones or Android phones. And if you want to detect it before running client-side JavaScript like you need here then you cannot rely only on client-side JavaScript.

Is there a browser that supports all the Confluence features best?
I know that IE doesn' support Drag and Drop, but what about other features?
check https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Supported+Platforms
scroll down to "web browsers - desktop"
As webwesen's answer says, all browsers listed on the supported platforms doc should be usable with Confluence.
My personal experience is that using Chrome is a good bet, since most of the Confluence development team uses Chrome day-to-day (or at least they did when I was in the Confluence team). However, Chrome doesn't have a built-in WebDAV client which means that Confluence's Edit-In-Office features do not work. If this is important to you, then I'd suggest Firefox with the Office Connector Add-on installed.
Google has taken up the implementation of WebRTC in Chrome very seriously as indicated by the frequent updates in the Canary and Beta channel of Chrome. Are there any other browsers who are upto implementing this?
Firefox/IE/Opera are working on it. No word from Apple/Safari or Microsoft/IE, although IE is unlikely at best, because they're working on their own standard unfortunately. Crazier things have happened, but I wouldn't count on it. Apple has been fairly mum on the subject.
If you want support for those other browsers, we built a solution for it # Frozen Mountain (I work there) using IceLink.
Opera Mobile does offer support to WebRTC. And according to this article, Mozilla isn't all that far behind either. Ericsson Labs has their own custom browser which supports WebRTC. But it runs only on Ubuntu as of now. WebRTC itself is still under development and I'm sure that we can see complete support from all major browsers in some time.
Mozilla is far along in implementing WebRTC, and we're leading the design and implementation of DataChannels within WebRTC, as well as Identity work. We're working on a project-specific repo right now (alder), but pieces have already moved over into mozilla-central, such as initial support for getUserMedia.
