Chrome/Chromium forum web apps

[Razor]

"Hello there,
It's been a while, my system has been borked but it's all up and running (relatively) well now. As a slight intermission during the PSX mod I've decided to create three web apps for Google's Chrome and Chromium web browsers; these apps link you to the three main Carmageddon message boards.
Check them out below:

CWA Board-

This app opens up https://www.cwaboard.co.uk (will be updated to .com when the URL gets sorted)
Download it here

devWAM msgbrd-

This app opens up devwam.toshiba-3.com
Download it here

Carmageddon.com forums-

This app opens up carmageddon.com/forum
Download it here

When installed they'll look like this:


If wanted I can create an app for Mastro's ForoForetico message board.

~That is all."

It sounds nice Razor, but what is the advantage of this over normal links?
Can these work on android phones too btw ?

It's more useful for me, that's why I've made them. I don't often use the bookmarks bar you see.
I have no idea if these could be used on Android, it could be tested though.

All they are is a manifest file and an icon, this is the CWA app:

manifest.json:

Code: Select all

{
"name": "CWA Board",
"description": "A Chromium/Google Chrome app that will take you directly to the Carmageddon Webmasters Alliance messageboard",
"version": "1.0",
"icons": {
"128": "128.png"
},
"app": {
"urls": [
"https://www.cwaboard.co.uk"
],
"launch": {
"web_url": "https://www.cwaboard.co.uk"
}
},
"permissions": [
"unlimitedStorage",
"notifications"
]
}

And the icon is of course called "128.png":


I have no idea how Android apps are packaged so I'm not sure if it would work.
