    Did you just re-invent Progressive Web Applications?

      Don’t think so, websites themselves have to implement pwa’s, you can’t force it client side

        Not saying I disagree, but what specifically would you prefer? Gecko? Or is there something better? (Maybe I’m just engaging in wishful thinking asking if there’s something better.)

          I don’t wish the pain of Gecko upon any non-Mozilla dev. That shit is terrible (and terribly documented).

    Can you share some info about it? I don’t get any info on the page on codeberg without reading the code. What engine does it use?

      Made with Gtk4, WebKitGTK, libadwaita and Flatpak.

      WebKit based, which is interesting. I don’t have much experience with WebKit on Linux.

          Gecko is very difficult to adapt to standalone apps and servo isn’t ready yet. what would you rather they use? Chromium?

      why can’t I see my comment when I browse lemmy.ml without being logged in?

      The post got upvoted so someone must have been able to see it.

      There is even another post from someone on lemmy.zip

    lol, I was doing exactly the same, mostly because the gnome app for it (webapp-manager) does not do one thing I badly want : open all non-app links in the default browser and not on instances of itself. Also, I love the webkitgtk project and this allows me to give it an usage.
    I will give a look at your project, I think is better contribute to it than have two (or more) projects doing the same 😜

    Does it support socks proxy for individual web apps?
