Can't try this on Android. Wtf.
It would create a recursive catastrophe and generate a black hole destroying space and time.

#22I’ve just tried it, and looks like I’m never going to buy Samsung instead of my iPhone :)

#23How did they make it soooo crisp and native looking???
It's just a full screen web app, browsers have a lot of APIs to make web app experiences feel more native these days.

#24It would be good to let android users and desktop users (even if only through changing user-agents) to browse the website. Even if I emulate the user-agent of an iPhone, it needs me to run it from the homescreen.
As said in a sibling comment, you can try it in a desktop browser (Chrome instructions below):
- open developer tools, Toggle device toolbar, pick an iPhone dimension
- Network > More network conditions ("wifi" icon) > User-agent > Custom > "iPhone Safari"
- in Sources, set a breakpoint on the 1st line, refresh the page, when the debugger breaks, type "window.navigator.standalone = true" in the Console, and continue

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
It works on desktop Chrome if you emulate a iPhone display and user agent. They're just detecting "add to Home Screen" by looking for window.navigator.standalone which you can manually set using a breakpoint.
can you explain more about manually setting a breakpoint. I am little noob
Chrome DevTools -> Sources -> trygalaxy.com -> _next/static -> pages -> index_... -> CTRL + F and search window.navigator.standalone -> click on the dash to the right (a blue arrow will appear) and refresh the page
The page will freeze, go to the Console, type window.navigator.standalone = true; and unfreeze the page clicking on the blue arrow.

#27Here is a screen recording showing what that web app looks like on an iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 16.2

#28Felt like I jumped into 2008. After all these years they have failed to get rid of that cheap Android look.

#29oh my, they have a moon marketing video inside. This is embarrassing.

#30It's restricted to Safari on the iPhone, the language cannot be changed, the demo cannot launch, and I have an iPhone for a reason, I know that I don't like Android and Samsung. The fact that it's broken confirms it. I don't know what they are trying to do with this.
A trashy web app being broken confirms you dont like android?
