It's weird to me that Cohost doesn't seem to have a dedicated Android app yet when the mobile browser version already functions in a very app-like manner. You could make a home screen icon for the Cohost homepage and get almost the exact same function as a dedicated app might provide. I suppose that also means that the development of a proper app can be safely deprioritised, but its complete nonexistence is strange all the same.
yeah and while android has that option to "add to home screen" a webpage to "turn it into an app", i immediately found this has a big annoying problem with how the back button works compared to what you'd expect from an app
(obviously aside from no integration with system notifications; whether you'd want this is another matter of course)
my bigger annoyance is if you click on an image and it makes the image fullscreen in a lightbox, in any other app if you press the back button it'd go back to the timeline and hide the lightbox again. but because it's a browser, pressing back just goes back a page, which in this case means its closes the entire browser and goes back to your home screen (of if you were on page 2 of the timeline you go back to page 1)
i assume its because opening a lightbox or any other popover or modal does not add an entry on top of the browser history, which you wouldn't really want for regular browser use, but for an app the expected user experience is that every "change in view" goes on the stack, and the back button goes backwards through every change in view
small things like this really drive home that, making a responsive website's goal is to make a website work well on mobile form factor devices, but it does not automatically result in an app
