Introduction

In a mobile-first and “on-the-go” world, IntentX understands the need for traders to have immediate access to their positions in the palm of their hand. Therefore, we have created a progressive web app (PWA) to enable this seamless experience for our users. This article guides traders through the simple process of setting up IntentX as a PWA on both iOS and Android devices.

Why A Progressive Web App?

Before diving into the setup, let’s first understand why we chose to make an IntentX PWA. PWAs are inherently fast, reliable, and engaging, bridging the gap between web and mobile app experiences. With no need for app store approvals, PWAs are easy to update and maintain, providing a consistent and streamlined user experience. This allows our users the flexibility to trade on the go, without the complexities and issues of using the app through a mobile browser.

Setting Up IntentX on iOS

  1. Launch Safari: Open the Safari browser and go to the IntentX website.
  2. Explore the Platform: Navigate to the IntentX trading interface by clicking “Trade Now” and ensure the app is fully loaded and operational.
  3. Add to Home Screen: Tap the share icon at the bottom of the Safari window, then scroll to find and select “Add to Home Screen.”
  4. Name Your App: Give your IntentX shortcut a name. After naming it, tap “Add” at the top-right corner of the screen.
  5. Experience the PWA: Now, IntentX will be accessible from your home screen, offering a full-screen experience with minimal browser UI, mimicking a native app.

Setting Up IntentX on Android

  1. Open Your Browser: Launch Chrome on your Android device and navigate to the IntentX web URL.
  2. Explore the Platform: Navigate to the IntentX trading interface by clicking “Trade Now” and ensure the app is fully loaded and operational.
  3. Add to Home Screen: Tap on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of Chrome and select “Add to Home screen.”
  4. Finalize the Addition: You’ll be prompted to name the app shortcut. Once done, click “Add.” IntentX will now appear as an icon on your home screen.
  5. Enjoy the App-Like Experience: When you open IntentX from your home screen, it will function like a native app, with improved performance and offline capabilities, thanks to service workers running in the background.

Conclusion

The integration of IntentX as a Progressive Web App on your mobile device is a step toward embracing a future where decentralized trading is not limited to your browser. This setup not only elevates your trading experience with IntentX but also enables you to monitor your positions any place and any time. Welcome to your new trading home!
