I’ve done work to make Kiri:Moto a full-fledged Progressive Web App. That means it can be installed to the home page of mobile devices like phones and tables and run offline with no internet. At this time, the code is still a bit experimental, so it’s on a sub-domain of grid.space
Please test it out and let me know how it works for you.
Stewart, et. al.: I’ve launched the web app from the live link included, and saved to home page on iPhone 14 Pro Max. Unfortunately, in iOS 16 (16.1.1), the device insists an internet connection must be active to execute the web app. Would it be possible to write up a short tut on the best way to use this completely offline?
Many thanks for all the hard work!

Hi Jeff and thanks for the report.
On the face of it, it looks like another way in which Apple is hobbling Progressive Web Apps on iOS that compete with and make a mockery of their app store empire. It could be more subtle, but none of the PWA code has changed since this was last working for me. I test on iPad / iOS as well as Android, but not in the last month and maybe not on the latest release.
I can probably find the cause and fix it so that the prior expected behavior is exhibited. Will keep you updated.
Stewart-
That’s another reason we genuinely respect you and the hard work you dedicate to supporting Kiri:Moto.
(And I agree wholeheartedly about the fruit tree that produces sour fruit these days…the walled garden could definitely use a little pruning……)
Thanks again for the follow up and have a great weekend ahead.
