Store if alert has been shown in Desktop/ios

To avoid showing the alert everytime.

Which alert is this?

[MarcosMoreu]

when iOS or Desktop an alert is shown everytime, which can be annoying for the users. Perhaps we can keep the alert on first load only, and then after first load add a message at the top of the home screen? Not sure what the best solution is, but we definetly need to tell users that the app is (as of now) designed for android devices

Hmm weird. I can't see desktoporiosPrompt being used anywhere in main at the moment. Has it been taken out?

[MarcosMoreu]

we just used 'alert'. Line 132 in main.js. I guess it worked as a temporary solution

we could set this in localStorage (which would survive until explicitly cleared) or could set a cookie (which we can set an expiry on)
