How to add a PWA banner "Add to home screen"

While Jewel has announced a native #mobile app for the future, we could explore offering an intuitive way to add a community to members’ home screens as a Progressive Web App (PWA).

Has anyone here already tried this and can share how they’ve achieved it?

Alternatively, if someone tried to create a native app for FC via AppMySite already, I'd be curious to hear about their experience with this 🤓

Sascha Leem I was also thinking about appmysite. But not sure if this will work, as the plugin doesn’t use wp pages, posts, comments or Menue etc but has its own. Guess the only way to find out - someone has to try :)

I would far prefer a PWA personally. In the next few weeks I will be exploring this option. I just don't have the time at the moment.

Hi Ryk Melck , did you succeed in any way with this?

The only issue with PWAs (especially on iOS) is that I haven't seen a good push notification setup. But I've used PWA-for-WP in the past, and it was pretty good. There is a WP repository version, but I assume you'd want the pro.
