Isn't it ironic.... that we all left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off, and came to a place where there are no 3rd party apps. (kbin.social)

There aren't many/any 3pa at the moment, but the admins also didn't recently enact policy changes that are aggressively anti third party, so there's that at least.

Plus the mobile layout is perfectly serviceable on Firefox right now.

I think they just added PWA support.

I hope they make it stop auto rotating. I tried it out but it auto rotates on Android even though I have that setting disabled on my phone. It means I can't use it when lying on my side (which I currently am).

What's PWA?

[–] Magzter@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Progressive Web app, basically a website that is modern and functional enough that it feels like an app.

I'm a web dev and I don't know this lol... So it's just a responsive/ mobile first website.

[–] PtitSerpent@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I want to know too

PWA stands for "Progressive Web App", which is a web site that looks and acts like a mobile application.

That makes sense, it does have that feel, yeah.
