TL;DR We are glad to invite all our users on our forum to experience our new mobile site called Webnovel Lite( https://mobile.webnovel.com ). If you encounter any problems, please leave a bug issue tagged with mobile beta. Thanks!
We are very glad to invite all our users on our forum to experience our new mobile site Webnovel Lite( https://mobile.webnovel.com ). It's a PWA-based mobile application. PWA (Progressive Web Applications) is introduced by Google to supply a better user experience. If you want to know more about PWA, you can visit here for more detail.
What do you get on Webnovel Lite?
Much faster browsing on our pages
We use Service Worker in PWA to cache data for a quick access and multiplex data from different pages. For example, you might visit the homepage first and click the book Library of Heavens's Path. We have already received a portion of the book's information, such as book name and book cover image of LOHP, so you can directly see this information in the book detail page without waiting until the page is ready. Of course, if you have ever visited a particular page, the page will load faster the next time you visit it.
A quick access to our Webnovel Lite
When you visit Webnovel Lite on an Android device (currently iOS doesn't support it well, iOS 12's developer's version is doing better), you can get an add-to-homescreen popup. When and how it pops up depends on your browser and system. As far as we know, Chrome 40+ is required for this feature. After it's added to your homescreen, you can read our novels with soimply one tap and run fullscreen, just like in the App.
It's just a start
Webnovel Lite is not just about speed; we also want to bring the best experience to you. Here are a few of the features we want to implement in the future:
- Offline - Read anytime, anywhere
- Push Notification - Never miss any updates of your favorite books
- Data Saver - Reduce the usage of your mobile data in a variety of ways
- And more!
Since we just began, and it’s the beta version of Webnovel Lite, if you find a bug or have any suggestions, please leave a comment, we greatly appreciate it :). Remember to select the mobile beta tag. Thanks a lot!
PS. The new domain https://mobile.webnovel.com is only for testing purposes. Please don't bookmark it. If everything is alright, we will use this new version to replace the old mobile site version of https://m.webnovel.com.
By the way, we have a new logo, so you can know which site you are visiting.
