Saving site as app — no back button - eviltoast

Noticed you can save the programming.dev site as an app on iOS (add to Home Screen). When you do this though, there doesn’t seem to be a “back” button or anything similar. So when you navigate to read post comments, you can’t get back to the list of threads.

Thought maybe a swipe left would work, but no luck.

No biggie, just something to consider in the site design.

    Figured this out (or maybe something changed in the PWA code) — if you swipe left to right from the very edge of the screen, it goes back.

    You practically have to start your swipe on the bezel of the phone, but it works.
