Description

Hello, can you add support for installing web app shortcuts, use https://webcatalog.io/en/apps/ (also call for games as well) as the source of website links, and shortcuts get "installed" to the programs folder in AppData, which can be a simple shortcut that calls a Chromium-based browser's (Edge by default as it is preinstalled, but probably add a drop-down to change it to preferred browser) exe file plus --app="https://example.com" as the launch parameter, plus download the favicon to use as the shortcut icon. Please note that it does share the cookies and other browser data with the browser, which is a good thing for most people, as it makes installing very common apps like every Google app seamless. It also writes each visit to the browsing history which is another thing to be aware of.

Howdy, thanks for the suggestion! I took a quick look at how the website works and I should be able to at least implement browsing for apps, though actually installing them might be harder. I'll have to look deeper into how the desktop app works.

I suppose I should add, I tried several combinations of the command you shared and it didn't work. It's likely that a WebCatalog plugin would support viewing only for now.
