Need an app better than Jerboa? Go to Beehaw as normal in Chrome, then click the … menu on the top right of Chrome. Look down and you’ll see “Install App”. (Edit: this option is normally not there for 99.9% of websites, I’m not taking about Add To Home Page) If you’ve got a free spot in your launcher a Lemmy icon will show up, otherwise look in your app drawer thing or whatever new apps show up.

This tech is called a “progressive web app” and it’s not just a shortcut, because it then behaves like you’d expect an app to behave like.

Anyway, give it a try. A few other sites have this feature, but it’s fairly rare and unfortunately underutilized.

    I think this worked with safari on iPhone as well. Thanks for the tip.
