Nova, new concept of browser that turns websites into apps (horbito.com) 6 points by openmaze 7y ago ↗ HN
[–] fithisux 7y ago ↗ 'that turns any website into an app' -> because most websites are apps these days. [–] openmaze 7y ago ↗ You're right. Mostly this browser changes the UX of the web surfing, with your webapps using an OS-like interface, with icons, badges and windows.Websites are apps these days, but browsers UX is still the same thing since 10 years ago.

[–] openmaze 7y ago ↗ This browser is based on Electron. It's stil in a MVP version, plugins support, SSO, cookie sync, better integrations... will be added in the future.It has been a really interesting development so if anyone has questions we're pleased to answer them.
