Nativeifier Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Web Environment Integrity API

  Oh by "Web Environment" you mean "my machine" lol! I already got caught by this - a https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier app wrapping Youtube Music doesn't work, because Google detects somehow that you are not using a trusted browser and refuses to serve. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• What is the most efficient way to run PWA (Progressive Web Apps), there are many browsers that do it (Chrome, Chromium, Vivaldi, Brave, Edge), which one will be the lightest and less resource usage in a Debian or Fedora? Are there other options apart from the browsers?

  AFAIK there's only nativefier and peppermintos' ice. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Create clean web apps for macOS

  Install Nativefier from Terminal using the command npm install -g nativefier. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Can I download Youtube (WebAPP) with Firefox? Or do I need Google Chrome/Chromium?

  It's still not quite the same as Chromium webapps, which are just isolated windows in the same core process -- FFPWA spins up entire other instances of Firefox -- and in effect operates more like Nativefier (with Firefox instead of Electron/Chromium). Source: almost 2 years ago

  Wow. I've been wishing for this for so long, especially for use in Electron (and things like https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier specifically). Mr. Gorhill, if you read this: Thank you.

• Standalone macOS Inoreader Electron app

  I've been a happy Inoreader user for quite some time now, but I've always missed a 'native' Inoreader app on macOS. Which is why I've created a small script which leverages Nativefier to turn the inoreader.com website into a standalone Electron app. A custom stylesheet ensures a proper looking and functioning titlebar (e.g., space for windows controls, support for window dragging).

• [GUIDE] Creating native applications for web-apps on Linux

  Nativefier (GitHub): Totally free and open source, and actively developed. It's a command-line nodejs-based tool which you simply give a website, and it automatically creates an Electron wrapper for it and gives you the native launcher. The downsides are pretty obvious: You have to manually update the wrapper all the time by re-running the command. There's no way to manage all your installed/created web-apps, etc....
