Why We Use Progressive Web Apps
At Gokstad, we believe in empowering individuals through technological independence. All our tools are designed as Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) because they embody our philosophy of breaking free from the grip of multinational conglomerates and the monopolistic control of app stores. PWAs don’t require downloads or approval from gatekeepers; they’re lightweight, accessible, and built to run directly in your browser. By embracing open web standards, we champion freedom, privacy, and accessibility for all. Gokstad tools are a stand against corporate control—a step toward a future where technology serves users, not the other way around.
How to Add a Progressive Web App to Your Phone
- Open the Gokstad tool in your browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari).
- Tap the menu button (usually three dots or a share icon).
- Select "Add to Home Screen" or "Install App" (the wording may vary).
- Confirm by tapping "Add" or "Install".
- That’s it! The PWA will now appear on your home screen, ready to use like any app.
