I’m surprised I haven’t heard more responses from web developers about the change to Safari on iOS and iPadOS regarding web apps. Now every website can be a web app (saved to the Home Screen and opened as a stand-alone app) — not just sites that have been configured a certain way by the developers.
It’s a big difference for users. Every site gets the same experience. No more mysterious sometimes-it-works-one-way, sometimes-another.
@jensimmons Not a web developer but, is #Safari doing anything better than what I did with a #shortcut in a summer afternoon two years ago?

I tested Safari’s new feature a bit and I still can’t change the icon, or set the scope (not all #webapps are at the root of a domain!). Do splash screens still need to be the device’s retina resolution? Are they still stretched in landscape iPads? 😬
