Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5 PWA

Published by at

It's a fair cop, this somewhat minimalistic PWA is essentially just a mobile web site, but a) it has a facility to toggle whether you've viewed each episode or not (and remember this, at least on a single device), and b) it remembers with great comprehensiveness one of the stand out sagas in TV science fiction (in my opinion). Anyone else a B5 fan?

PS. The name 'lurker' comes from the nickname of drifters within the B5 world, I think!

From the (super short) Appscope listing:

A mobile-friendly version for the episode guide of the Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5, along with an option to tag an episode as seen.

The URL to tap on or type in is lurkers-guide.netlify.com/seasons.

Of course, you can turn this into an 'app' yourself with PAWA or just pin it 'as is' on your Start screen. Or just add it as a 'Favourite'. It's up to you. If you're confused by the different PWA options then check out my feature here.

Here's the PWA in action on my IDOL 4 Pro:

Diving down, from season (including movies and spin-off series) to episode to details...

You get an overview, production details, notes, goofs, scribbles from the creator/main writer, and more... Note the toggle at the top, to keep track of which ones you've watched. Very cool.

PS. Bonus link to Babylon 5 on Wikipedia.
