Discourse (the forum software that powers the Thong Forum) is a progressive web app (PWA). You can add the Thong Forum to the home screen on your phone. This provides a few benefits including:
- A dedicated “application”
- A full screen experience without the browser UI
- The ability to browse previously visited content while offline
- Support for push notifications
Cookies are not shared between the browser and the app, so you’ll need to log in again.
iPhone & iPad
- Open the Safari app
- Navigate to the Thong Forum (https://www.thongforum.com)
- Tap the Share button (box with arrow pointing up) in the menu bar
- Scroll down the list of options, then tap Add to Home Screen
If you don’t see Add to Home Screen, you can add it. Scroll down to the bottom of the list, tap Edit Actions, then tap the plus next to Add to Home Screen.
