> desktop browsers could take the same approach of prompting the user based on certain heuristics. Well, my argument for a "different" approach on desktop is based on my concerns for these heuristic themselves — and I guess that's better for another thread — but in short, I feel these heuristics, at least based on how Chrome just implemented them on Android, seem very limiting. I think the "Standalone" experience is essential if we want to offer a complete "app experience" from The Web against native and closed-platform apps, and these heuristics are setting a high barrier on entry for devs who want to offer them. > I don't think there's anything special about desktop here Maybe I'm "splitting hairs" here, but what about more screen real estate? I feel one of the reasons "install me!" banners are definitely a bad idea on mobile, is because of the bad UX based on the space they'd take if an API is abused. That is not necessarily an issue on desktop, or at least not at the same level. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/w3c/manifest/issues/359#issuecomment-91580580
