Android browsers can already add pages to home screen but Hermit takes this even futher.

It has significantly better UX with frameless and full screen modes. You can bookmark pages, so on Lemmy you can quickly bookmark community in specific sorting order. There are user scripts and blockers and loads of customization. You can even add push notifications for changes on the site or RSS feed.

I’ve been running most Fediverse web apps through Hermit and it works really well! The only exception is that I couldn’t figure out how to setup notifications on Mastodon.

    That happens when the browser doesn’t send the url of the website in question properly in which case the app name is captured. When I added my instance as a lite app it autofills normally and only associated the site with the login. I use the keepassDX app and I’m on android 13. Which version of android are you on?

      A Galaxy S21 FE, android 13. I tried to also add the lemmy.world instance and got the same issue.
