On a desktop, you can use location.reload(); and it will reload the page, restarting the code on it.
But what if I wanted to ‘reload’ a javascript app? Is there a way to do so? Thanks!
location.reload(); // Page reloads on desktop, app does nothing on mobile

One of those is bound to work where location.reload(); doesn’t.
