🦋 It took far longer than I’d like to admit, but I made @bsky.app a desktop-installable app. If anyone wants the snippet, get at me.

how is that different from installing it as a progressive web app?

It’s the exact same! But Bluesky don’t actually expose that functionality. I had to spoof it so that I could be offered the installable option in (desktop) Chrome.

For clarity, Bluesky don’t actually expose this behaviour/functionality. You need to spoof a fake `manifest.json`, which is what I did.
