I would love an app release, but for now here's my super dumb idea that works for me.
Download a new browser whatever has a nice interface. I use via and I just set the homescreen as Chapo.Chat and put 'save session/previous tabs' so it constantly peels back to Chapo.chat page (I'm mindful to rely on my original browser for actual browsing). I also download the little Hexagon bear pic and use it as the thumbnail and change the name to Chapo.chat. The frame sizing is the only imperfection, but this depends on the browser and site runs pretty smooth on mobile :face blowing a kiss:
Can pm me any feedback/issues you have an I'll try to address them asap 🙂
For all those searching now it's "Lemmy" and has a white rodent pic. Highly recommend, kudos to the devs.
