Run any website as standalone desktop application

What is it?

This tool offers a unique approach to web browsing by opening any webpage in a dedicated window using the embedded QT WebEngine. By removing the typical browser UI elements, it effectively turns websites into standalone desktop applications. This can be particularly useful if you've ever wished to run a frequently used website as a separate app, independent from your main browser. This also can help when there's no native application available (like native Linux version of most of the popular LLM based chatbots services like ChatGPT or Claude.

It provides a practical solution for those who find themselves juggling numerous browser tabs or wanting a clearer separation between work and personal web applications. With each website running as its own "app", you gain the benefit of individual entries in your window manager or task switcher, potentially improving your workflow organization and efficiency.

1. Github website running as standalone app
2. Own application entry in the task switcher
3. Dedicated entry in system tray menu for easy access

Whether you're looking to streamline your digital workspace or simply curious about alternative ways to interact with web content, this script presents an interesting concept that might just solve a problem you didn't know you had.
