Noticed you can save the programming.dev site as an app on iOS (add to Home Screen). When you do this though, there doesn’t seem to be a “back” button or anything similar. So when you navigate to read post comments, you can’t get back to the list of threads.

Thought maybe a swipe left would work, but no luck.

No biggie, just something to consider in the site design.

    Not sure how to help on iOS. Perhaps you could modify the manifest file for the PWA, before installing it, and change the display property to something other than fullscreen or standalone, so that the browser navigation bar is retained, but at that point, might as well use the browser anyway.

    Perhaps you could file a ticket on the Lemmy UI repo about iOS PWA navigation? Although, surely iOS web devs must have a solution to such a common UI pattern.
