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.
Oof, same on Android. That’s a complete deal breaker for using the PWA.
Why dont you use the back button on Android?
Well, for starters there is no back button in the PWA on Android. Swiping from the right to go back completely refreshes the feed.
the back button works fine when I use Firefox and install a PWA with it.
Yea I can hold down on the button and get the normal history menu from Firefox. They may be using gesture navigation tho and idk how that is affected.
I use gesture navigation and the back button works without reloading.

like I’ve said, it works fine for me: https://streamable.com/fb300o
Looks like 0.18.0 update broke it. 0.17.4 was good.
