# Potentially useful progressive web apps
Method for distinguishing PWAs from normal websites: adding them to
iOS homescreen and seeing which open as "their own apps" _or_ having
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>`.
- https://caniuse.com/web-app-manifest
- https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/Manifest
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.
