I mostly use Webapps (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.tobykurien.webapps/) for access to socials and have quick links to services where I don’t want to login every time. Don’t know if there’s an alternative way to do this beside use apps like Insular or other App Isolation like, don’t even know why browser don’t do this by create profiles or container. I mean apps are just web container most of the time, and I know the reason why service provider want let you just use their app, but what’s the browser excuse? What’s your approach to this considering that Webapps application is outdated?
Well that just sent me down a rabbit hole.
My first foray into PWAs was this year but it was a short lived endeavor when I found out I had no hopes of feature parity across devices for core functionality and decided to switch to React Native instead. I didn’t know android did that with PWAs.
Thanks for the explanation.
From my point of view, this is all relatively unstable and not really well thought out, far from being reliable. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to convert my Crossbowser bookmark backend (https://codeberg.org/Offerel/SyncMarks-Webapp) into a functioning PWA. Very disappointing. Don’t ask me how many nerves I’ve lost in the process. At least you can now use the WebApp as a PWA. The share_target also works if it was installed via Chrome or Samsung Internet. It also works offline. These functions are even retained if you subsequently uninstall Chrome/Samsung Internet. The WebApp then asks which browser wants to take over the functions. This also works with Chromite or Firefox. Strange but what the heck. At least you can now share any URLs with the backend. This also works offline, even if this is more of an Edge case for bookmarks.
