Cool.
I went to https://james.darpinian.com/satellites/ https://james.darpinian.com/satellites/ which I found by visiting the link provided in the Play Store page and installed it as a true PWA.
I got no prompt that it was available as a PWA though, I had to open Chrome's menu and tap "Install app" manually.
- modeless 4y agoYeah I found the prompt annoying so I turned it off. It hid some of my UI and appeared at inappropriate times. Sites don't have enough control over how and where the prompt appears.
- depressedpanda 4y agoI think there's some requirement that the user needs to interact with the app for ~30 seconds before the prompt is triggered. However, after that you can handle it basically however you want. E.g.: https://developers.google.com/codelabs/pwa-training/pwa04--prompt-measure-install#0 https://developers.google.com/codelabs/pwa-training/pwa04--p...
- modeless 4y agoEdit: I think PWA installation prompts have improved since I last looked at them a long time ago. They seem maybe OK now, though some of the PWA APIs look OK until you try to use them and find out they don't work as advertised (e.g. web notifications).
