I see on the blog that the site is intended to be used as a native web app via the "add to Home Screen" share option on iOS; however, I've been unable to figure out how to sign in on the "web app" version. The login link delivered via email opens in safari so the "web app" remains signed out.

Never mind, I found the caveats section at the bottom of your blog post (https://blog.theapricot.io/posts/install-on-ios/). Looks like it requires the use of Google sign in rather than relying on an email. As someone without an google account, I'm afraid this means I am stuck using Safari.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I'm starting to look into a native iOS app, but it's going to be a little while. In the meantime, I think Apple did mention something about progressive web apps last week at WWDC -- I'll have to look that up.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Have you thought about just enabling login via user/password? Or better yet passkeys? Overall, the app looks very clean and I love the idea. I'm looking forward to giving it a try!

I did start with username & password, but it was pretty annoying to have to type the password on the phone. I thought the email magic link would be easier until I hit the problem with iOS progressive web apps.

Now that you mention it, I'll have to re-think -- with the Google option there as the "easy" route, maybe username & password is a better backup option because it's more universal.

For what it's worth, I use a password manager on my phone (iOS) so username+password logins are also trivial.
