Startup. Our business model is a small subscription fee for extra features for PWA devs. This will likely evolve over time, but we will be careful not to become what dislike. Our goal is to help web devs grow their business and crack distribution on mobile.

PWA button filters down to only web apps with a manifest + service worker. Unfortunately, Firefox is a bit behind in adding some of the features that make PWAs, well, progressive. If you're on iOS, try Safari or Chrome.

It's up to all of us to build the future, brick by brick. What looks impossible today might look inevitable in hindsight. Ok sorry, enough cliches from me for the night :-P

Edit: Not on iOS...yet.

Not on iOS, but you can trigger native install prompts on android and chromium browsers (Chrome and Edge).

All part of the process, though! Brick by brick...

:-P

We've been getting feedback to keep the "installable" filter on by default, which I think is a good idea. We'll implement tomorrow. Eventually this'll evolve quite a bit, but we're taking a measure approach. Stay tuned! :-)

That's amazing! We definitely stand on the shoulders of giants. Hoping that now is finally the right time for the web to make the jump. LMK if you ever want to connect and talk shop!

There's better functionality coming, but for at the moment, users need to jump over to the apps domain to install. "Getting" or "Installing" means adding to home screen. The flow isn't ideal at the moment, and some web apps aren't installable (e.g. don't have a manifest/service worker), but it's early in the movement. You're not really missing anything, other than the fact that we have to start somewhere :-P

Thanks!!! We don't have a submission form for non-owned PWAs, but post here + tag me and I can add them!

That's great feedback. It is indeed unfortunate that Firefox has shied away from supporting modern browser features. We will be showing relevant feedback based on your browser when you launch an app - is that sufficient for you? Seems like that's the right CTA to advice a user to switch browsers, but curious if you think it's imperative to have this info at the beginning of your discovery journey.

This is great feedback. There are some modifications coming that will enhance the discovery process. It's very early in our journey, so I'd encourage you (I'm biased, of course) to create an account and stay tuned for updates. We believe the web is in the early stages of a renaissance of some sort.

Thank you for the kind words! And your feedback has been noted with our team, keep it coming! :-)

I like it! Ping me at support@store.app if you want to stay tuned and provide feedback on this feature after launch.

I pre ordered it before .app was available as a TLD and bought it on day one of availability. I've wanted to build this for a looooooong time :-)

Great feedback - thank you! :-)

This ^^^

Need to start somewhere :-P and I think you'll be surprised looking back in a few years from now.

Hi! That was something experimental that we've deprecated. $10 / month gets you verified reviews and a verified badge on your developer profile. There's also some other cool stuff coming very soon. Ping me at support@store.app if you want to learn more. I can also give you a coupon if you want to take it for a test spin.

Thank you, this is great feedback. What to show and when has been an ongoing convo - we chose to evolve this based on supply side milestones. Keep an eye out for some cool updates :-). We don't yet have the ability to filter by offline-capable, but that's a great idea. Re the dev tab, this is a work in progress - right now a few things are split apart, but we'll be folding everything back together at some point.

Re notifications, 100% agree - this was a major roadblock. The next few years are going to be very interesting :-P

Join our discord and there are likely some people who can help https://discord.gg/tFquNjuK

Ohhh gotcha - that's still good feedback, though - we will try to make that more intuitive!

Thank you! :-)

Thank you for the feedback, we're looking into this. In the meantime, you should be able to upload from your files if the images have the correct aspect ratio. If you continue to have issues, ping me at support@store.app and we'll make sure everything gets sorted out.

Hi! You should've been approved for a developer account. I suppose the delay could go past two minutes. We'll be speeding up this process soon. Hopefully in aggregate it only took you less than two mins :-) If you have any issues, ping me at support@store.app!

Awesome! Were you able to add it successfully? We have a widget that you'll find under your claimed app to showcase your listing states, and we have a few more things that you can use on your app coming in about a week. If you're interested in early access, shoot me a message at support@store.app and we can show you what's coming.

Thank you for posting this! Have noted for our team to look into.

This is our hope. If we can help smooth out the messaging / install process, once a PWA is installed most apps will feel identical to a native app for most users. We used to say "web apps are apps" but now we just say "apps are apps" :-P

Listing is now live! :-)
