Great work! thanks a lot.

I wanna ask a question since I do not want to miss any feature

Progressive Web Application enhancements – NodeBB is now "installable" from mobile devices to your home screen, and should act like an app now
** This is one of the starting points to eventually allowing NodeBB to be accessible while offline, just like a native app

For some time, I was using Safari Bookmark feature to put a direct link (icon) to our forum website on iOS home screen. Is your explanation an improved version of this? (such as screen notifications etc?)

I know eventually this is the idea, but now I just want to understand what we can do currently, what we cannot. So, we can use the nodebb to the full extent Please try not to use a lot of technical terms thanks.

@crazycells @psychobunny is more well versed with this, but the only real functional difference is that it likely loads a bit faster now (at least, after the first load) because a lot of the pages are cached.

Before, it would reload the page just like you were visiting in a browser.

We don't support natively things like notifications yet, but it is a step in the right direction
