The benefit of this is mainly that the site behaves as a separate app to the browser you're using, helping to provide a dedicated space away from the clutter that is many modern browser sessions for many people. You just get the site in a separate window but without the usual browser navigation and other UI elements, and on mobile OS they appear as apps in both app menu/drawer and recent apps view.
To make it available to site visitors requires:
1. Making a quick, simple JSON manifest file, possibly using a generator but Google's Al overview will also provide a good example if you search
2. Add the link ref to the <head> of every page, e.g.
Code: Select all
<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json" />
