PWACompat: the Web App Manifest for all browsers - @ChromiumDev

Paul Kinlan

PWACompat is a JavaScript library that helps web developers make their Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) compatible across different browsers. It takes the existing Web App Manifest and generates the necessary meta and link tags for features like icons, favicons, startup mode, and colors, ensuring a consistent experience across browsers, even those with less complete PWA support, like Safari on iOS. PWACompat simplifies cross-browser compatibility for PWAs, handling things like splash screens and other add-to-homescreen features, making it a valuable tool for PWA developers.
