UPGRADES Progressive Web App now available

[Cyril Pons]

Android users should now have the ability to install a Progressive Web App for this forum.

This allows lots of cool features:

• Push notifications
• Home screen icon
• Slicker interface and no pesky URL bar
• In theory, caching common assets to reduce server load and speed up the browsing experience for members

To install on Android/Chrome:

Tap the menu drawer icon on your phone



Tap the button circled below and follow the prompts:



To enable push notifications:

1. tap your profile pic on the menu bar above.
2. Tap preferences
3. Tick/untick which alerts you want to receive (and definitely disable the two annoying "and receive email notifications" boxes!)
4. Press "Enable Push Notifications"

You should now be get a ping whenever someone quotes you, or replies to a thread you started. Feel free to turn off stuff you don't need to be alerted to on a granular level.

iOS doesn't officially support PWAs but it does support some features. Try it via Safari > share > add to home screen

Thanks!
