  3. Webspace

    Your favorite web apps, now on your phone.

    The cookie/session isolation is underrated. Half the reason services push you to the app is because the mobile browser experience for juggling multiple web apps is genuinely bad — not because the web can't do it, but because nobody's made it comfortable. I got annoyed enough to put together a small webview manager that keeps a few web apps in tabs with separate cookies: https://github.com/theoden8/webspace_app (yes, it's written in flutter)

  4. install-element

    An `<install>` element might be nice.

    There's an install element in the works. Perhaps that will make it more obvious how to install it https://github.com/WICG/install-element?tab=readme-ov-file
