Or like the Chrome web store have a <link rel="preffered-installation"...> that points to the store: https://developers.google.com/chrome/web-store/docs/inline_installation#cws-link I'm not sure which of another link element or a link pointing to a manifest pointing to the store is preferable. But I do think pointing to the store will become important for many apps. _______________________________________________ dev-webapps mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-webapps
