I was just prompted that a PWA was available for kbin. I now have it installed, really great to see this. IMO it is a great stopgap until native apps are available.
I really like the PWA - I was able to install it on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from 2012! Not too many apps can be installed on that phone nowadays. Alas, I can't get it onto my equally ancient iPhone 5 - that one just opens a new tab in Safari.
that changes what happens when I click on the logo, but not what loads when navigating to “kbin.social” and the PWA seems to only load “kbin.social” no way to get /sub as a pwa
maybe you can try deleting the PWA and then installing it again, but from the /sub URL? Because I went to kbin.social/ (the root) and installed the PWA from there and I figure that's why it's just going to kbin.social/ every time.
I guess it must be built into the PWA somehow which specific web page it will land on.
I'm holding hope that a 3rd party kbin app will be available soon. I'll probably use both just because but I think there are somethings that can be done better in a native app, especially in terms of customization.
For Chrome on Android the "Add to Home screen" menu option was is now "Install App" which will put an icon for/kbin in the app drawer and the app opens in a dedicated browser window sperate from chrome and its tabs.
