But we don’t only have to build an environment that allows the doing of popular things. We also need to maintain a society in which unpopular or unusual things can be done. The doing of unpopular or unusual things is itself popular.
If I’m understanding right, I believe Xbox Cloud Gaming and Geforce Now have used this. They get access to better video APIs by running as a home screen webapp, and aren’t at risk of popping the address bar from touch confusion.
Voyager, a client for Lemmy, also installs as a webapp. Similarly, it doesn’t show the address bar when you scroll up and down.
What are some popular examples that would be affected by this?
