NoVo installs as a Progressive Web App (PWA) — a real app icon on your desktop and phone, launched full-screen, without going through an app store. Here's what a PWA is, how to install NoVo, and why this delivery model has real advantages for a trading tool.
What a PWA is
A PWA is a web app that installs and behaves like a native app: it gets an icon on your home screen or desktop, opens in its own full-screen window (no browser chrome), and feels like a “real app” — but it's delivered through the web, so there's no app-store download, review, or approval process. You get the app-like experience with the web's instant, universal delivery. It's how NoVo lives on both desktop and mobile as an installed app rather than just a website.
How to install it
Installing is quick: open NoVo in your browser and use the “Install” / “Add to Home Screen” option (in the browser menu or address bar prompt). It adds the NoVo icon to your device, and from then on you launch it like any app — tap the icon, it opens full-screen. On desktop it becomes a standalone window; on mobile it sits on your home screen alongside your other apps. No store account, no download queue, no approval wait.
A PWA is the app experience without the app-store tax: home-screen icon, full-screen launch, instant updates — delivered straight from the web.
Why the PWA model is a good fit
PWAs bring real advantages for a tool like NoVo: instant updates (you always run the latest version — no waiting on app-store review for a fix), universal reach (one app that installs on essentially any modern device), and no gatekeepers (no store fees or approval bottlenecks between you and the tool). Combined with NoVo's server-side engine, the PWA is just the installed window into a cockpit that runs in the cloud — app-like access, web-fast delivery. It's the modern, honest way to ship a cross-platform trading app.
