Comment on Are mobile web apps slow?parent

By far the best web app I have ever used. Period. How did you manage to make it so fast? Also most web apps I pin to my home screen (not many) open in safari. how did you manage to get this to open it is own 'app'. It's not a part of safari, it has it owns icon in the app switcher.

Thanks,

I am not using any framework, and using vanilla JS as much as possible.

If you add these meta tags, it will open as app.

    <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black" />
    <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"/>
    <meta name="apple-touch-fullscreen" content="YES"/>

And this for icon <link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" sizes="144x144" href="a/icon/ios/Icon-72@2x.png"/>

After adding the site to the home screen there doesn't seem to be any way to get back to your site after following a link to the full version of an article. Known issue?

Other than that issue, I'm very impressed with the site. The design and performance are excellent.

Yes that is a know issue and I don't know the best way to solve that.
