@prologic@twtxt.net sorry! The learning curve for Dart / Flutter has been… well… steep
We need to discuss that. I think we’ll need so many fixes for the Mobile app to reach the current version for the web. What about thinking on a PWA, or similar?
Currently, I’m using the Web as a Home app (or whatever is called), and works amazingly. I’m not using Goryon now, nor any apps for social service, but that’s a personal preference.
A PWA could work here – But someone would have to build one 😆
@prologic@twtxt.net could we start with this?
and adding the web manifest to make it work like a “Web app” on the phone on top of the browser. I’ll take a look into it tomorrow, I don’t recall exact details.
@eaplmx@twtxt.net about the Web manifest you can take a look on one of my own in my app Vector Pass
The requirements for a installable PWA are a web manifest and a valid service worker (even if empty), I recommend workbox V3 for that.
@prologic@twtxt.net Some time ago I said to be working on a personal take for a PWA, I haven’t stopped or forgotten, it’s just taking lot of time with my other activities, same for gitxt.
Hope to get something up soon. 😉
@eaplmx@twtxt.net Hmmm you can already do this even without a manifest 🤔
– Even if we do add a manifest, it won’t make any pod’s Web interface a PWA 😢
@justamoment@twtxt.net Yeah we need to continue the MythrilJS based PWA you started 👌
@prologic@twtxt.net I can’t say for iOS but on Android with both Chrome and Firefox the “Add to homescreen” is a bookmark, adding a web manifest it become a “Smart” bookmark, adding a service worker too makes it become a full fledge PWA with the whole install process and standalone app (for Chrome at least).
@justamoment@twtxt.net The issue i have is that if you try to turn a SSR (server-side-rendered) web app into a PWA, I’m not sure that works all that well? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net actually it works, another use is too have a custom page when opening the site when offline, using workbox v3 it’s as simple as adding a line in the configuration.
More advanced uses I’ve seen in a blog is too allow downloading posts when online and show a list on them when offline, super smart way to handle lot of pages.
@justamoment@twtxt.net Ahh I see 🤔
