I was just prompted that a PWA was available for kbin. I now have it installed, really great to see this. IMO it is a great stopgap until native apps are available.

    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.

              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.
