# Potentially useful progressive web apps
|

|
|
|
PWAs are especially useful for iOS users, since PWAs added to homescreen
|
|
|
|
|
from Safari are able to request notifications permission resulting
|
|
|
|
|
nativeish experience outside of App Store without even having to
|
|
|
|
|
install anything.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Method for distinguishing PWAs from normal websites: adding them to
|
2023-02-26 18:01:13 +01:00
|
|
|
iOS homescreen and seeing which open as "their own apps" _or_ having
|
2021-11-18 11:46:09 +01:00
|
|
|
Chromium suggest "installing" them without manually "installing" them.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Proper identification: `view-source` (`CTRL - U`) and `CTRL - F` for
|
|
|
|
|
`manifest` e.g. `<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.webmanifest">` in `<head>`.

|
|
It looks like `about:apps` on Edge (or all Chromiums?) has a
|
|
|
|
|
`Show applications menu on toolbar` button which then when pressed on a tab
|
|
|
|
|
has more details for PWAs. "App whatever is available" with logo and "Publisher:"
|
|
|
|
|
fields.
