How do you set this up?
I think its just the 'add to homescreen' option in the browser that makes a shortcut to open the website in a dedicated browser window on your phone.
If so, my issue with the PWA is that I cant get it to default to the subscribed feed, I always have to manually navigate to /sub
Default feed is set in your profile. Click on your username, click settings, change Homepage to Subscribed, then click on save to apply setting.
that changes what happens when I click on the logo, but not what loads when navigating to “kbin.social” and the PWA seems to only load “kbin.social” no way to get /sub as a pwa
maybe you can try deleting the PWA and then installing it again, but from the /sub URL? Because I went to kbin.social/ (the root) and installed the PWA from there and I figure that's why it's just going to kbin.social/ every time.
Yeah, I tried that already. no matter what page I'm on it does kbin.social
I guess it must be built into the PWA somehow which specific web page it will land on.
I'm holding hope that a 3rd party kbin app will be available soon. I'll probably use both just because but I think there are somethings that can be done better in a native app, especially in terms of customization.
Oh ok thanks!
For Chrome on Android the "Add to Home screen" menu option was is now "Install App" which will put an icon for/kbin in the app drawer and the app opens in a dedicated browser window sperate from chrome and its tabs.
On iOS, press the ‘share’ button (box with an arrow coming out the top) and look for ‘add to home screen +’
