      This could be a big 'gotcha' for some flic users.

      On my iphone, with chrome, I load a website (e.g. google) and use the flic button to enter some text.
      If I go to the browser's search bar and reload the page I can again use the flic button BUT...if I do a swipe down to refresh the page, the flic button no longer works on the refreshed page !!
      I think this is because any refreshed page does not have a focus on the initial input field in the same way that a reloaded page has.
      I might be able to catch this in my own web site page's javascript to detect a reloaded page and reset the focus but obviously I cannot do this for other site's webpages.

        I found this: for any IOS browser Webkit, the browser distinguishes between a fresh load initiated by navigation and a technical refresh gesture. The latter requires an additional tap on the screen by the user before input fields can be focused for typing. This is a deliberate security measure by Apple to enhance user control and prevent a poor user experience.
