Thanks but I’d settle for just being useful, in this case.
It’s earned its own thread? Why not.
I now find myself working on the Paradox thread with browser and app open next to each other, writing in the app while browsing in the… browser. I can have multiple forum pages open in the browser, not logged in, while editing in the app without receiving the warning about editing in multiple pages.
To my mind, the app is a Tarski-like solution, a meta page sitting above and referring to the pages in the browser.
Now if it would only allow me to edit multiple posts at once.
Just installed on android. Nice. 
Does a PWA need to be installed to be used offline?
Perhaps some progressive web apps can work offline – but this is not the case here. I had to reset the WiFi, and the web app went down. It is not criticism; it is just that I want to let you know because some folks say that these apps can work offline.
Fair. Although I’m nearly always online nowadays -— my home now has Fiber-to-the-premisses, I have enough bandwidth to support an office block. And anywhere I go I have 4g or 5g coverage on iPhone. So I’m probably not offline enough.
I am totally confused. I thought it is forbidden to use AI but I am not engaging in the forum because the technology is so changed I am having a problem coping. How is the increased reliance on technology not using AI? I am wishing we would go back to dialup and not knowing there is anything better. The technology is changing too much for me to keep up.
Times change. The Web App is not AI driven, but the editor still contains a proof reader that is presumably LLM based.
When we moved from imperial to Metric measurements, my great grandmother objected, saying “They should wait until all the old people die”.
I now know what she meant.
The ‘progressive web app’ feature is not an AI feature. It just allows you to access the Forum through a dedicated application as well as, or instead of, a web browser.
This is very cool.
You can also directly go to different categories of the sidebar by clicking on the file option (Mac users).
I’ve noticed a minor quirk - don’t know if it’d be classified as bug - on the PWA install of Discourse. On iPhone/iPad, if I log out in the PWA version, it seems impossible to use ‘autofill’ to re-populate the userID and password fields when logging back in. If you tap on the User field, the customary prompt comes up which normally alows you to select UID and PW from Google Chrome, but the app seems to freeze at this point meaning the fields won’t auto-fill. All you can do is drag it off the screen to re-start it and enter the data manually.
