Dose anyone know of a Foss web app handler/“installer” that is not a browser. I use firefox on my phone but the way it handles web apps is lacking. What is out there I could use for this that is not a full web browser itself as I don’t want a second one on my phone. Thanks

You could try Hermit! It’s literally a way to make “lite apps,” as it calls them. I use it myself and freaking love it.
Thing is, I don’t believe it’s FOSS. 😕
EDIT: Looks like there is a FOSS alternative called Native Alpha!
Yes, Native Alpha works really well. However, I faintly remember some “beef” between the developers where the Hermit developer claimed that Native Alpha doesn’t fully isolate things.
Don’t want to throw in false accusations here. It’s just what I remember and I’m saying this as a heads-up for anyone concerned. But please take it with a grain of salt.
I don’t get it, why do you need a separate handler/installer? A “web app” is nothing more than a browser window that’s soft-locked to one website. What’s your preferred browser? If it allows you to add websites to your home screen, then just do that.
What am I missing? 🤔
Firefox doesn’t handle webapps well that is why.
I use it for Facebook and Wefwef, it seems seems to work fine for those. Maybe it depends on the website.
