(DIR) Post #ARY8xd4UFTJYXMCepc by matty@nicecrew.digital 0 likes, 0 repeats Because websites require code to run, and sometimes that code changes. Rather than walking people through the steps necessary to force that update, a button is provided.

When I return from somewhere else, it should just load the updated page.Truth Social is the only other web site with an update button. (DIR) Post #ARY8xdIfOkenFKpyvw by matty@nicecrew.digital 1 likes, 0 repeats Truth Social runs on the same Soapbox frontend as Poa.st, NCD and others. When someone creates a new build, that changes the signature of the file that is served by the server, and in this case prompts you to basically hard refresh to download the latest build to your device.Without that feature, people would be receiving different things at different times. For example, on the old frontend, a change may not propagate to all users at the same time based on how their browser works. If you hard refresh, which would be required to pull the latest build, it would be fine. But, some people do not know when, or how to do that and that's generally not feasible for the layman on mobile devices especially.It's really not that big of a deal. (DIR) Post #ARY9doWE4sI4CeIEca by alex@gleasonator.com 0 likes, 0 repeats @Marielle_Redclaw @matty @_skycaptain @smirk The actual reason is because we have offline support. Soapbox is a PWA = Progressive Web App. It downloads the code onto your device, so when you load the site again it loads from your device storage. It works like a native app. It therefore needs to update like a native app.But it’s a website … it should just load the updated page.Agreed. We’re likely going to drop offline support soon, since the app is fairly useless if you have no network connection anyway, and the “An update is available!” nag is confusing. (DIR) Post #ARYACqu5CdwDjc9xM8 by corne 1 likes, 0 repeats There are a other usecases where “offline” PWA comes in handy. If the apps uses chunks, you don’t have to wait for those chunks to load anymore. Also, if the app updates while you have the app open, and you navigate to a page where another chunk is needed, that chunk might not be available anymore.

Long term we’ll create something very optimized.
