I really like web2apps in omarchy it would be great to have it.
what’s that? Never heard of it.
Web2app means encapsulating any website into an executable + .desktop file that can then be launched like an application, I think (so similar to an Electron wrapper, but automatically). But aren’t there DE-independent tools for that already?
omarchy seems to be a custom Arch installation/configuration with Hyprland. Sounds interesting, but also … opinionated (funny).
Lets say that you want to watch youtube, so you open your browser and you have it in a tab, well with this aproach with SUPER, Y keys you launch youtube in a window, distraction free because you do not have any tab or anything else in that window, it laucnhes as an app, and you can do it with most of the webpages that you are use to visit.
Yes omarchy is opinionated, it install apps that i do not want, like spotify, but what i really like is that it makes easy to add an web2app and launch it, i think that has a great value for a lot of people
I mean that just sounds like chromium PWAs. At any rate, considering omarchy is just a set of dotfiles, wouldn’t web2app just be something you can install? Or did DHH make a custom script/app himself?
if it helps, I’ve used this when PWA wasn’t available: GitHub - linuxmint/webapp-manager
I will check it out, thanks
sudo pacman -S webapp-manager
This is built into Chrome, or you can install webapp-manager as suggested, or if you are using irefox there is a great extension called Progressive Web Apps for Firefox.
That’s just a .desktop file that Execs chromium --app on some url. In other words, this is in fact separated from the desktop. It’s more like a plus on their end
