Re: WebApps functionality



Well you must have some appstream metadata, or the web app will not 
appear in GNOME Software. But Epiphany itself never looks at the 
appstream metadata. I would completely ignore that page of the spec 
because none of that metadata will be used  for anything.
If you want web apps to have more features... well, I'm not working on 
it myself, but patches welcome. What most users would be interested in 
is not appstream, though, but Web App Manifest from 
https://www.w3.org/TR/appmanifest/. Not all of the fields in that spec 
would make sense for Epiphany, but probably some could be supported. 
The question would be: how would installation work?
Ideally, before putting more effort into web apps, which are semi-dead 
due to the lack of flatpak support, we would figure out how to make 
them work in flatpak. What we need is a sort of replication portal to 
allow apps to install and delete different versions of themselves.
