Did that with lemmy, but at least in my case it just happens too often that I get an infinite loading circle when switching threads and then I have to reload the entire page, which isn't possible when not in the real browser. Even closing the web app and reopening them doesn't help but once I open the page in Safari it works just fine.

Mlem for iOS just got an update which gives us the compact thread style I much prefer over the current web app look but it seems like I can't edit comments there and I also don't see any notifications so there's still a lot of work to be done before it becomes an option.

And kbin I just don't use on the phone at all as long as we can't collapse comment chains.

Thanks for that. It's actually a lot better than the app I'm currently using, lol. (Though, I'm sure it will improve).

The WPA's layout is not crazy good on mobile, but at least I got some real estate.

Now, how can I contribute? I'm a frontend web developer.

Both have native apps on Android and iOS that are better imo.

Yes even KBin has an Android app now too.

Any updates on Mlem? I tried installing TestFlight but it says the beta is full.

If only the launcher I use on android supported homescreen icons :( (AIO)

Still a better user experience than the official Reddit app.

I believe this next drop of iOS is going to support push notifications in safari. Are there plans for the pwa to support this? It’s the only reason I really use native apps anymore.

As an alternative, there's also Native Alpha and Hermit (my personal favorite) on Android. Play with the settings to make it full screen and frameless (no address bar at the top). It also has pull down to refresh.

On kbin, you can then go to your settings and sticky the navbar as well so that it's always at the top as you browse. Personal preference and all that.

I tried Hermit and noticed that Voyager doesn't automatically switch between Dark and Light theme (in the night / morning). Workaround is to kill (force close) the app and open it again.

Do you also face this issue? I can't remember if with Chrome I was facing it..

[–] OverfedRaccoon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It saved my sessions in Hermit, so I don't think I had that issue. But I definitely had that issue when using Brave with it not saving my settings/session between loads.

Now I'm trying this "Native Alpha" app. And with this one seems to adapt the system theme (dark or light) without needing a restart of the power app.

I think I'll keep this app to run voyager!

For what it's worth, Native Alpha is also open source. I found that out after the fact. So if that's something you value, Native Alpha might be the better choice overall. Hope it serves you well!

Yes and it also works out of the box for (I haven't had to change any setting...). For example in the other app I had to configure some stuff to hide the top URL bar or something similar.

Here I just added wefwef url app, I created the icon and voilà!
