Is a PWA no longer available? (sopuli.xyz)

On my last phone, I succesfully installed sopuli.xyz as a PWA on Android. On my new Android phone, the install "fails" on both firefox and vanadium (chromium), resulting in just a shortcut for a regular web page. Other sites' PWAs work just fine.

Might something have broken with the PWA part of sopuli?

What's PWA? Just a shortcut from saving to home? That works for me on Android. (I swear I left this comment yesterday but I guess not.)

    A Progressive Web App. Its not quite a shortcut. It is akin to installing an app.

    A 'light' PWA is basically a a shortcut to a web page that hides the browser elements, leaving more room for the site's content.

    A 'heavier' PWA can install stuff to your phone such that it remains usable even without an internet connection.
