@rpardee don't know if it's actually a PWA that we could crate
PWAs are the way to go rather than installing apps i have used PWAs for ages on chromebook, with chrome, and Win10, with Brave, also have a few on Android via chrome/firefox
@ecksmc From the little bit of reading I've done they sound pretty cool. I've been dabbling in js development & am curious about doing up a simple one.
@rpardee it does depend on the actual site also
some sites after creating a PWA don't function the way they should
i have always had CoSo as a PWA on my laptops you get more "real estate" cause no address/bookmarks bar etc and all extensions work once created
same on mobile PWAs
chrome://flag you can set also so when you are on a site with PWA function chrome will then add a wee instal option in the address bar to tempt users to switch
or
chrome settings>more tools>create shortcut
@ecksmc oh cool--thanks!
One thing that PWAs are supposed to be able to do is notifications, which I don't think the CoSo app does currently. Not sure if they can be marked as a target for os-level "share" functionality. Right now on my (android) phone if I'm reading something & want to share it to CoSo I've got to use Tusky.
@rpardee tbh loading time is roughly the same
saying that it has been a while since I tried a test of sorts I do mind doing it years ago when I first created my CoSo PWA I ran it in new tab and then in PWA there wasn't any significant time change in loading
it does give the desktop experience a much better experience all round that's for sure 👍
@ecksmc I was thinking lots of assets could be thrown into the cache for fast retrieval on subsequent visits. Not so?
