Progressive web app. You install it from your browser, and it runs from your browser, but you get a special icon to launch it. Probably more To it than that, but that's the most I think I know enough to say haha!
I'm not sure what KES is but if I just scroll a bit then what u want to read or what I am writing is clear of the arrow. I don't use the arrow and am indifferent to it but I imagine others may like it. I use the PWA.
Trying to be positive - I just read an article about diseases being eradicated in multiple countries. That is great, and I hope that trend will continue. We are seeing some interesting work done with disease treatment. So, on that front, I think some of the research that has been ongoing in a number of illnesses will result in something tangible that can be published. Cancer vaccine? Dimentia prevention? New way to manage a surprise respiratory virus?
I actually joined kbin specifically because it had both of these features. I have read some microblogs, but haven't determined how I fit in with that culture enough to interact. Magazines are more like the bulletin boards of the past, which I am very familiar with. I like the opportunity to interact with the microblogs, tho, and don't expect to create another account just for that. I like this setup very much!
It looks like that poster may be a bot or troll. They just joined and somehow have made their own magazine and then crossposted from that mag, TO that mag, several times...
I don't personally have any issues with the website on mobile, I wonder if it could be browser related? I'm also not expecting perfection from something that hasn't been around very long, and never was on reddit so have nothing to compare it to.
I think you have valid points about "dealing" and "learning" and for some, that will be a turnoff. For me, it is an adventure 🙂
I didn't know there were any apps for kbin, but using a browser to begin with, it seems pretty seamless. The link opens, then I hit back and I am back at the thread.
I did see after looking aroind that Artemis has an app, is that what you are using?
