Like legit, chapo.chat feels so much smoother to traverse with, and it’s aesthetics are so much more pleasing to the eye to look at. New reddit UI is absolute eye cancer to look at. Of course there are bugs and certain issues, but seriously good fucking job, devs. Also, more evidence that worker co-ops work.

Quick edit, but my title is inaccurate. THANK THE LEMMY DEVS FOR THE UNDERLYING TECH. As Beatnik said in the comments, the Chapo Devs also did a huge amount of work on the front end experience as well as other important functionalities, so THANK THEM AS WELL.

PSA: if you’re on a phone and you “add to homescreen” (instructions vary by platform) the emulated-app experience is quite nice. Removes a lot of the browser chrome and gives you more leg room to post in

How would you do this on iOS/Safari

on the webpage in Safari, the bottom toolbar should have a share icon on it (Square with an arrow coming out) and in the options there will be “add to home screen” listed (May have to scroll down a bit)

On Chrome on Android it’s easier. Hopefully Apple builds some of this soon. https://web.dev/customize-install/

literally it’s only missing: a back button that takes you back to where in the main feed you left off. other than that, it’s essentially a full-blown app.

Do you have any idea why I get the following error? “This hexbear.net page can’t be found No website was found for the web address: hhttps://hexbear.net/static/assets” Maybe its because it automatically adds the rest of the stuff to the chapo.chat when I add it to homescreen, I don’t know how any of this stuff works.
