How did this happen?

HFG is on my Android home page like an app. its much more than a Chrome shortcut as when I press n hold the icon it gives me options to make a new post n such.

i wanna know if I can do this for other forums I frequent because the shortcuts I made for them are dumb.

If they’re built with the same forum platform as this then most likely. I’ve had it turned into an app like icon since I joined HFG

and all you did was add it to your homepage? nothing else?

Yeah basically. A little download icon appears on the right of the address bar an it just automatically turns it into a mini app
also you can do this on desktop as well.

son of a gun, thank you for pointing that out! :smiley:

is that feature a plugin for forums to install or does it have to be a specific platform to do that?

Its tied to chrome
on desktop You can do it for YouTube
Twitter
Reddit
And probably others
So its probably dependent on chrome’s api

hmmm…well, I’m a dummy when it comes to stuff like that.

I was hoping I could do that for the HardwareCanucks.com and FliteTest.com forums.
