Progressive Web Apps

vkt

One thing that I really like about Chrome and other Chromium based browsers is their ability to save certain web pages are stand-aline PWAs. Firefox, for some reason, has decided not to do it. Safari, on iOS, has the feature but not on the desktop. Would be great to have this on Orion.

One of the reasons this is important to me is because of the resource consumption of Electron apps.

I feel that having PWA support would make Orion a usable alternative to Electron apps. A particular feature I would like is enabling "Low Battery Mode" specifically for the progressive web apps (separate from the main browser).

What would be really amazing is if we could enable some of these UI changes for normal sites, even if they've chosen not to support PWA (like Discord).

I've made a more specific proposal in a separate issue, to have "isolated background sites" (Or: Progressive Web Apps for all)

Techcable Standalone app and progressive web app are two different things. We are all for standalone web apps. can you move your comment to the other thread that discusses it.
