@Marielle_Redclaw @matty @_skycaptain @smirk The actual reason is because we have offline support. Soapbox is a PWA = Progressive Web App. It downloads the code onto your device, so when you load the site again it loads from your device storage. It works like a native app. It therefore needs to update like a native app.

But it’s a website … it should just load the updated page.

Agreed. We’re likely going to drop offline support soon, since the app is fairly useless if you have no network connection anyway, and the “An update is available!” nag is confusing.
