@dangillmor use the Install App function on mostly any browser which creates a 'bookmark' that will open a dedicated browser for the application.

this works for most Android browsers.

Note: I avoid installing 'native' applications when it does not offer any additional functionality; such as offline support. Eg. mastodon needs an active connection to be useful.

@gbraad @dangillmor

maybe you didn't get it... that's his whole point!

But many services do not have a dedicated web app, so you cannot use it on a phone.

@gbraad @dangillmor Cryptee is a good example of PWA. Using it feels like using a native app to me, and it provides "advanced" features such as offline mode, exports to PDF, etc. It also notifies you when there is an update and can auto-refresh itself after user confirmation.
