Strawman now has a a progressive web app<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, it’s the regular Strawman website, but it’ll work more like a native app on your phone. Aside from providing a better mobile experience, it will allow us to offer improved functionality, such as customisable push notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downloading the app is pretty straightforward, although please be aware that the exact process will differ depending on whether you’re a iPhone or Android user, and also what mobile browser you are using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Android users<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those on Android, simply go to www.strawman.com on your phone’s browser (we recommend using Chrome or Firefox) and log in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you scroll down, you should see a prompt appear at the bottom of the screen:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After the app downloads, you’ll see a new app icon on your mobile desktop. You’re good to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this prompt does not appear, click the three dot menu button at the top right of your browser and you should see an option to install Strawman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iPhone Users<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using the native Safari browser on your iPhone, go to www.strawman.com and log in to your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click on the ‘share’ icon at the bottom of Safari and you’ll see a “add to home page” function<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once you do this you should see an icon appear on your homescreen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Push Notifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Currently, push notifications are only available to Android users. We’re working on the iOS version and expect to have it available soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enable push notifications, click on the alerts notifications icon (the bell icon at the top right of the screen) and select ‘All notifications & settings<\/em>‘. Then click ‘settings<\/em>‘.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there you can select ‘Send push notifications to this device<\/em>‘.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that at this stage, the push notifications received will be those you have turned on for ‘System notifications<\/em>‘ (although we’ll provide further customization soon).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feedback<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Please remember that this is an early version and we expect there to be a few rough edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you encounter any difficulties, or just need some help, let us know on our dedicated forum page<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll continue working on this to ensure Strawman members get the best possible mobile experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
