this is what I dont understand. so many apps are almost website-like in functionality, and you can save a shortcut to the desktop / main screen and it will launch / look like an app. complete with notifications (if enabled).

we use these in our CI/CD pipelines as we deal with embedded hardware. they work absolutely awesome for power cycling stuck USB peripherals or powering USB-powered boards for tests.
