Description

For those that use PikaPods, the PWA is the best options for a desktop app. It probably would be good to add that to the docs in some way.

@youngcw is this still relevant given that we now have proper desktop packages?

yes. Its still best that if you host a server somewhere you use the PWA instead of the desktop app to not have version issues.

Ok then. I'll think of something that caters both to highly technical users and others.

How deep should this go? Google does a good job of explaining how to install one on any browser I asked about. Duck Duck Go did a terrible job. PC Mag has a nice article on what they are and how to use them on a bunch of different browsers.

Maybe what we should do is show how to do it for chrome, firefox, safari, then use a good link to describe them further. This could maybe be its own docs page if its getting too long
