Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.109 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: I don't know if there is any other way a Chrome user can get in touch with Chrome developers. I have sketched a new web standard and I would like browsers to implement it: https://github.com/photopea/AppNow . If you decide not to implement it, can you at least join the discussion? What would be the right way to get W3C people join the discussion? What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? Nothing. Did this work before? N/A Does this work in other browsers? N/A Chrome version: 59.0.3071.109 Channel: stable OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2) Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 26.0 r0

It will probably take a long time, until this specification is ready: https://www.w3.org/TR/appmanifest/ . It is also extremely complex. I am suggesting an alternative, which is very easy to implement and will alow site authors to improve the using experience of their web apps. Specifically, a browser should have App Install Banner available for every website. It should work like adding a site to bookmarks, but it would add the icon into the main list of native apps in that specific OS. There are more details in the document, which I attached.

Platform > Apps is Chrome Apps, nobody is triaging that :( Ivan, what is AppNow? The GitHub link is broken now. The brief description in #2 suggests that you're asking for app install banners, which we are supporting via the App Manifest. Is there anything else to this feature request?

AppNow was my suggestion for "installable apps" - "Bookmarks on steroids", very similar to App Manifest, but much simpler. Instead of the separate JSON, the data was directly in HTML (existing tags such as <meta description>, <title>, <link rel="icon">) and the instalation can only be initiated by a website (never by a browser) by calling window.install() I guess the App Manifest is replacing it, so we can close it now. But I am still fighting for the site-triggered install prompt: https://github.com/w3c/manifest/issues/627 And install buttons on another domains: https://github.com/w3c/manifest/issues/726 |
