So Jerboa broke on my phone just now and I didn’t want to stop browsing Lemmy. Unfortunately no suitable alternative was found so I just decided to check if I could open it in my browser and install it.
To my surprise, it worked. And it works really well quite frankly. Sure, the UI is different, but I’m not at all missing any features.
Did any of you guys try it as well? What’s your opinion?
If not, did you even know that was a possibility? It quite frankly never crossed my mind, because Reddit and other platforms always force you to use an app when you open them in a browser.
This Apollo-like webapp is new too, and I like it quite a bit: https://wefwef.app
Holy shit that’s sleek. Gonna give that a go for a while.
That’s super cool! Too bad back in android doesn’t work when it’s a pwa, but it works as expected on a browser and it’s very fluid!
What doesn’t work? I was just using it on Android as a PWA without problems. Only issue I could see is the top nav bar (where the notifications show) is gray vs black, which could be an easy fix. On Firefox if that makes a difference.
The back button closes the app instead of going back to the feed for me.
Woah. This is a game changer. Thank you!
