WebCatalog - Open Source App Store For Native Web Apps
WebCatalog is an open source and cross platform desktop app store that allows users to install and run web apps natively.
With native apps they mean:
These apps will stay on your Dock or Taskbar, notify you when you receive a new message or a call and more.
Using Chromium as backend, apps installed from WebCatalog integrates nicely with Unity as they support global menu as well as the HUD menu which you can access by tapping alt key. You also get a centralised web app store allowing you to easily add and remove new apps.
Similar to the app stores on your smartphones and tablets, you can just open WebCatalog, install an app you like and start using it immediately.
For each app installed in the app store, you also get a native .desktop launcher integrating nicely in the Unity dash.
WebCatalog developers claim it to be superior than competition.
