currently I'm using Firefox so I want to try out a non browser experience? Is there is any good alternative like tapatalk where the TE ux merges well?

i could find reference to something called pwa (unsure what it means - progressive web app?). Do we have any link?

Try opening TE on your browser > open the browser menu > 'Add to home screen'.

If anyone is interested in the PWA, you can go to your mobile browser, open the sidebar, and click on the "Install" option at the bottom. I think there used to be a random pop-up asking you to install it as well.
For those unfamiliar with PWAs, this is essentially the website at its core, but it feels and functions like a native app.

I seem to be missing the install button due to some reason
This seems to be working as a browser website shortcut. I guess similar to a bookmark
but I am looking for a more smoother ux.. preferably not via a browser.. but via an app..

I guess your browser doesn't support it. I'm using it with Cromite and it works. Try downloading Chrome/Cromite or something like that just for this app (follow the same instructions) and see if you like that experience. Personally, I find the PWA to be very valuable.

Yes.. you were right.. thanks! Firefox didn't give me the option but chromite did. However, @SirMatterNot 's method worked for Firefox too. (Thank you too!)
Still looking for an app based option though.. is no one using one?
