Looks like you can create apps of your websites. And it looks like it does it using Safari's engine.
- nerdponx 6y agoFor anyone curious, the GNOME Epiphany browser on Linux has this feature as well. Incidentally, it's also based on Webkit2-Gtk internally (Webkit is the Safari browser engine).
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoIsn't that just the same as installing a PWA? (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Installable_PWAs https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web...)
- headsupernova 6y agoExactly but with the benefit of using the Safari engine and some other bells and whistles
- needmorehare 6y agoSafari can install PWAs using the Safari engine while also taking advantage of the same Content Filtering API measures you use to get rid of crap. I am not sure what this product really achieves.
- leokennis 6y agoIt’s a pretty nifty app: you download it and you have “Flotato.app”. If you want a “Gmail” app, you copy Flotato.app, rename that copy to “Gmail.app” and open it. It will open Gmail, and the app icon changes to the Gmail logo. So far this has worked consistently for more or less every site I tried.
