Designs
From a UI point of view, we need several pieces : - a new entry in the site menu, to add/remove a site as an app. - a new "See all apps" item in the awesomescreen to access the app list. - an app list similar to the Bookmarks screen.
Goals/Use Cases
The goal is to provide a way to mark a url as being a web app, and allow the user to manage its app list. This goes a bit further than the app tabs on Firefox 4, since this list would persist and be accessible on a dedicated page (or in the the new awesomescreen).
Add-ons author should also be able to register a chrome url as an app.
Open Issues
- integration with sync
- should apps be in tabs like other pages?
- how could we notify a user that something changed in a web app, like unread mails count, new events, chat info, etc.? (web notifications will probably help there)
- do we want OS level integration?
- should we support sites like http://openappmkt.com/ seamlessly, or leverage AMO?
- do we want to support w3c widgets?
