This is a set of Progressive Web Apps that are suitable for inclusion with GNOME Software, to help users find useful apps to install.
Oand I asked Refi about it:
It doesn't exist
I kinda wanted to do it but that would take days to add, easily
And I...really don't feel like spending like a month straight of weekends on it
Jok so if epiphany has the better support and it's a native gnome app anyway ...
Oyeah
Oit won't perfectly work, but for the vast majority of stuff, it'll be fine
O(stuff not working includes drm)
Jyeah, I think if we had office365 and the gsuite for a start that would immediately be useful for a ton of people
Oonlyoffice?
Jit's in yafti already
Jthis would be for people who just have to have office or gsuite
Joh yea, hahah, lol.
Jbut if for some reason they don't want those apps, we could just plop that in our existing github repo and run it from there?
KWhat's in the gnome software repo differs from this anyway
Kso I don't think contributing to this gets us them any sooner
Kbest we ship our own using this tool to generate it
Ksince the CSV is so simple
Kand then it can just be provided as a 3rd xml file
REndless also has a list of additional software they have added to Gnome Software, and includes quite a few PWAs like YouTube and Twitch if you wanted to grab some from there

Jorge shared this a few months ago, but I spent the last 30 minutes trying to find it, so I might as well share it

NOh, that’s really cool. Are these changes going to come to ublue?
RThe work to get the PWAs is in progress now. Kyle has just published a custom Gnome Software build that supports this.
Up to others to decide what PWAs to include in the software centre.

Jlet's do it! But I have that Open@Intel podcast here this afternoon I'm prepping for
Jbut if we want to start, hell yeah I'm down to do it
J(Note to whoever missed it: I'll be on the open@intel podcast talking about ublue!)
NLooks like it’s included in the beyond image but not the base image. Pre-alpha (Beta? Release?) alpha time
FIf I understand correctly, Chromium & Epiphany is supported currently?
It looks up to which browser is default and open PWAs with that?
It looks up to which browser is default and open PWAs with that?
RThat's because they only got it working yesterday. Once it's fully working and tested, I would expect it to be in bluefin at the very least. Don't know about base.
FOr Chromium is out of the story?
RUnderqualified to answer this... I have no idea
FIt would be cool to have PWA, GTK4, GTK3, Rust, C# indicators in UI of Gnome Software apps imo,
At least it's distinguished as "Web App" repository name

RSeems like it's opening in GNOME Web for me, even though Chromium is the default browser in my system
Jyeah I think gnome's intent is for GNOME Web/Epiphany to just be the PWA browser, and when you click on a link in a PWA it opens up in your normal browser
JI put my mastodon client in it right now and when you click on a link it opens in firefox, normally that opens a new window in the same browser
RI hope the accounts used in each PWA are independent. E.G. Youtube using my personal Google account and GMail using my work one
Jyeah wouldn't it be awesome if you could have work and personal gmail apps for each one but they did the right thing
JI want that so much lol
JOk I'm off of meetings now and this is starting to sink in, yeah, that's a great idea
JI have to do dad stuff in 20m, but then I have an hour block before the intel thing, and then later tonight I'm free but if you want to snag the script and wire it up I can do the legwork on the apps
ADo you have a link?
JI mean I'm recording it with her in about 1.5h
Jlet me find their landing page
JThe Open at Intel podcast covers open source innovation as we build the future together. Join us for critical conversations about security, AI, cloud computing, Linux, and more, bringing together some of the best minds from Intel and the open source commun...
AThank you! I didn't know this even existed
AUblue is going to the moon 
AI haven't updated my computer in like a month, I feel next time I upgrade I'll get some super powers from all the stuff that's been added 
KJinterview over, they brought in a cohost from the Clear Linux team so we got to nerd out
Bmakes sense, so i guess we should prepare for an amazing listen
Jwell for us it's kind of the same thing I said last time, just again, lol.
BWell clear linux team member probably had some good insights
