ValidateLens Is Now a PWA – Install It on Mobile or Desktop

2025-02-25

We’re excited to announce that ValidateLens is now available as a Progressive Web App (PWA)! 🎉

This means you can now install ValidateLens on your mobile device or desktop and use it just like a native app — fast, lightweight, and always one tap away.

🚀 Why a PWA?

Going PWA means:

  • Lightning-fast experience
  • Works offline or in flaky network conditions
  • Installs directly to your home screen or dock
  • No App Store needed

📱 How to Install on Mobile

iOS (Safari):

  1. Open validatelens.vercel.app in Safari.
  2. Tap the Share icon (square with an arrow).
  3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. Name the app whatever you'd like (e.g. ValidateLens), then tap Add.

You’ll now see the ValidateLens icon on your home screen!

Android (Chrome):

  1. Visit validatelens.vercel.app in Chrome.
  2. You should see a banner saying "Add ValidateLens to Home screen". Tap it.
  3. If not, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right.
  4. Select Install App or Add to Home Screen.
  5. Confirm, and you’re done!

🖥️ How to Install on Desktop

Chrome / Edge / Brave:

  1. Open validatelens.vercel.app.
  2. Look for the Install icon (usually a computer monitor with a down arrow) in the address bar.
  3. Click it, then confirm.
  4. ValidateLens will open in its own window and be added to your dock/start menu.

💡 Tip: Enable Notifications (Coming Soon)

We’re working on push notifications so you can be alerted when you receive new validator feedback or updates. Stay tuned!

Thanks for being part of this journey. Making ValidateLens faster and easier to use — wherever you are — is just the beginning. 🚀
As always, we welcome feedback and ideas for improvement.
