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.
Firefox for Android also has this feature for anyone not using Chrome
I’ve been using Jerboa but just tried this and it works pretty well too!
I’ve been using Hermit to create lite versions of app.
pro tip for chrome users: use firefox…
That’s a good idea! Very neat. Also, Jerboa just released a new update that’s very good. But it’s not on the play store yet I don’t think. I got it from gethub.
Just use F-Droid
This is super useful. Thanks for the tip
It worked for me and I like it, thankyou.
Tried this with Chrome, Brave and Duck… All three just spin trying to login. 🤷♂️
