I haven't seen anyone mention the kbin native(?) app!? I tried it and it seems perfect and amazing? (kbin.social)

I tried Jerboa briefly and couldn't get it to work well for me. Then I visited kbin on my phone's browser and was prompted to install the kbin app!? I haven't seen any references to it, but it's exactly what I wanted...? Has anybody else tried it?

I'm using the pwa app but all having trouble getting it to default to /sub instead of the main page.

Tap your name in the top right, then settings. It should be the first option there.

The website seems to respect that setting, just not when installed and launched as PWA.

The settings in the PWA app for me are independent from the website. Basically, I had to do my settings again in the PWA for them to work. I’m using safari on iOS. My biggest issue, though, is that I can’t get UI improvement user-scripts for safari to apply in the PWA.

The settings are the same for me in the PWA, but I'm on Android with Firefox. But I have tried changing the setting and then changing it back to make sure in the PWA, and that doesn't seem to help either. It always starts on All. I have also tried installing the PWA from Chrome on Android, same result.

But a silver lining is that I can can use user-scripts in the PWA with Firefox.
