benfrancis left a comment (w3c/manifest#1218) @marcoscaceres Why does that proposal still use the term `installed`? I thought we had established that term is confusing in this context since whether or not the application is "installed" is an orthogonal state to whether it is currently being displayed in an application context. From above: > The name installed suggests a statement about global installation state. A developer might reasonably expect (installed) to be true if the app is installed on the device, even when viewed in a browser tab. In reality, the feature only matches when running inside an installed app window. I would again suggest the following would be clearer: - application-context: application - application-context: none -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/w3c/manifest/pull/1218#issuecomment-4866750090 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
