Yes, that's really stupid


Not all websites are PWAs, and on linux those websites shows differently.


That's neat!


1. Yes

2. This could do the trick for you https://askubuntu.com/a/251738/1163389 make it point to the desktop file that ftwa created in this folder: ~/.local/share/applications


FTWA was created for linux in the first place. I then added support for macOS as requested, but yeah on macOS is pretty similar to PWAs.


Yes, it's pretty much the same for macOS I guess. On linux it's pretty different, I was using .desktop files over PWAs for years because of their bad UI on Linux.

Basically yes, but the shortcut open a frameless browser.


This was just a side project, I was using .desktop files to launch some websites and thought it was still pretty unknown by most people. So I created this website.


No that's exactly what I wanted to avoid, this would be similar to what electron does.
