## Features After Installation

## What's Changed
|
|
- PWA manifest configured with app name, icons, and theme colors
|
|
- Service worker registered for offline support and caching
|
|
- App icons (192x192 and 512x512) generated
|
|
- Tab bar is now a proper footer (opaque, doesn't overlay content)
|
|
- Side panels stop at the tab bar instead of going underneath
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
If you don't see the "Install" option:
|
|
1. Make sure you're using a supported browser (Chrome/Safari)
|
|
2. The app must be served over HTTPS (which it is)
|
|
3. Try refreshing the page
|
|
4. On iOS, you MUST use Safari (not Chrome or Firefox)
