I like it a lot. I was hoping it would be installable as a PWA.

^ this. This is pretty much the only thing I would add; when doing an "add to home screen" and going to full screen, it still shows the phone and browser borders, which aren't black. Adding a manifest.json, setting theme_color and background_color: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/How_to/Customize_your_app_colors https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web... would help a lot on mobile with the immersion effect Sit is aiming for.

  > immersion effect Totally agree. At the moment, add to home screen creates a shortcut that opens up Safari (along with its other distracting tabs ;) would be great if Sit could be set up as a web app too!

  OK, done on Android https://untested.sonnet.io/Sit.+Offline+Mode https://untested.sonnet.io/Sit.+Offline+Mode In a marvellously diabolical turn of events iOS nosleep support works as long as the app is not in standalone mode. aargh! Will post an update with that later.

    You are a legend! I came back to your website for a little over 10 minutes with Sit because I saved the bookmark to my home, and then I ended up getting pulled into your website to explore it a bit. I was really loving the minimalist aesthetic, and it made me wonder why I usually complicate my own web designs by adding boxes around things instead of letting the content flow. Also, your writing style in your technical posts is very refined, clear, and succinct, which I appreciate. Eventually, I found your post mentioning that Sit was a PWA now, and it made me remember I had commented back on here. I came back wondering if you had replied, and sure enough, you had! Thanks for making the improvement! I'm very glad I can install it as a PWA now, and I know I'll be using it more! (also a fan of Obsidian and SvelteKit, for the record)
