LauncherStack

Collection of simple web app launchers

Overview

Lancherstack is a collection of compiled launchers that pull up a popular sites as a app using edge's --app flag.

Any site can be 'appified' as long as you have Edge browser installed, thus any application that has a web version or any website can be 'appified' using this method.

Useful for:

  • appifying favorite web services/pages with a clickable iconized .exe
  • eliminating maintenance overhead of a local app in favor of a web version with minimal change in user experience.
  • replacing or working around misbehaving windows apps by leveraging their web-based cousins
  • building a clean and custom windows user interface (especially when paired with ui and and launcher apps)
  • giving business users an app they want.. without giving a business users an app they want

example | Spotify

the spotify launcher delivers you a resizable, ctrl+f-able spotify app without the need for a spotify installation:

Acknowledgements

If there's a web site you'd like to appify that you don't see on the list, just replace the URL in one of the .ps1 files with the desired URL; compile with PS2EXE if desired.
