the swift programming language is my fault to some degree. mostly here to see dogs, shitpost, fix old computers, and/or talk about math and weird computer programming things. for effortposts check the #longpost pinned tag. asks are open.

It doesn't, but the next best thing is adding a shortcut to your home screen. Here's how to do it on Android phones using Google Chrome

  1. Click the three dot menu in the upper right
  2. Click "Add to Home screen"

There are similar procedures on other devices and browsers

And cohost sets the magic flags so that it even opens in a real app container instead of a browser tab! Steve Jobs’ original vision of HTML5 apps on iPhone lives on

on chrome desktop you can use more tools -> create shortcut and tick "open as window" and it's like a native app. on firefox desktop you're kinda fucked (or you need to use horrible hacks) because apparently mozilla doesn't care about PWAs. >:(
