Regarding Blinko's PWA Feature: How to Use or Enable It? 关于 Blinko 的 PWA 功能：如何使用或开启？

[LiangWei88]

Hi everyone!

While using the Blinko note-taking app, I noticed that the update logs mentioned improvements related to PWA (Progressive Web App). However, in actual usage, I haven’t clearly experienced the features of PWA, or perhaps I haven’t enabled or utilized these features correctly. I would like to ask the following questions:

What specific aspects of Blinko’s PWA functionality are reflected? Are there particular use cases or advantages?

Do I need to manually enable the PWA feature? If so, how can I do it?

Is the PWA feature only supported in HTTPS environments? If yes, are there any other restrictions?

Thank you very much for your help! Looking forward to your responses.

大家好！

我在使用 Blinko 笔记软件时，注意到更新记录中有提到 PWA（Progressive Web App）相关的改进。然而，在实际使用过程中，我并没有明显感受到 PWA 的功能体现，或者可能是我没有正确开启或使用到这些功能。我想请教以下几个问题：

Blinko 的 PWA 功能具体体现在哪些方面？是否有特定的使用场景或优势？

是否需要手动开启 PWA 功能？如果是，请问如何开启？

PWA 功能是否仅支持 HTTPS 环境？如果是，是否有其他限制条件？

非常感谢大家的帮助！期待你们的回复。

Blinko's PWA functionality includes features like theming, which is managed by the updatePWAColor method in the src/store/user.ts file. This method updates the theme color for the PWA based on the user's theme preference, affecting the <meta> tags for theme-color and apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style ^[1].

To enable or use the PWA features, you typically need to install the app to your device's home screen from a supported browser. This process is usually automatic when you visit the site on a mobile browser that supports PWA, and you should see an option to "Add to Home Screen."

Regarding HTTPS, PWAs generally require a secure context (HTTPS) to function fully, as this is a standard requirement for service workers and other PWA features. However, specific details about HTTPS restrictions in Blinko's codebase were not found.

If you have further questions or need more detailed instructions, checking the Blinko documentation or code comments might provide additional insights.
