Every web page is an installable app! Generate or repair a Web Manifest for any web page.
Per
A simple premise: Make every web page installable as an app on your local device.
Your "app" will be present in your list of apps.
It will load without the usual browser chrome, and if you squint the right way, you might come to think of it as an app rather than a web page.
By generating a Web Manifest automatically, using what scraps of data we can find hidden within the page.
Alternatively, by repairing existing manifests that have stopped working due to rule changes in recent browsers.
That's not a question. And also, yes.
If we can't find a big enough app icon, we'll upscale whatever we find. It might be ugly.
It tries to guess a good name and description, but if the web page isn't cooperating, it won't be able to do much.
If the web page has security rules preventing us from injecting our own manifest in the page, this won't work.
Because of the cookie cutter approach, many features available in Web Manifests are not leveraged here.
Don't expect to get the level of integration you might get from a properly crafted manifest lovingly tailored for a specific web app.
Also, browsers sometimes seem to take a while to notice we've set or updated the manifest. patience..
Probably not, no.
This is more of a "look at this neat thing" script than anything actually useful.
Unless you're tired of using bookmarks and want to manage a large amount of "apps" on your system instead,
in which case, by all means.
I think so. But note that this is configured to run on EVERY web page.
Your bank, your social media, your email, it doesn't matter, it runs everywhere.
This is not something you should take lightly.
Then again, you probably don't need to run this in the first place.
Just stare at it from a safe distance. Yes, that's probably the best way to enjoy this.
