What is Nativefier?
Nativefier is a command-line tool that easily creates desktop applications for any website with minimal configuration. The applications are wrapped by Electron into OS executables (.app, .exe, etc.) for use on Windows, macOS, and Linux. I built this because I got tired of having to press ?-tab or alt-tab in my browser and then search through numerous open tabs when using Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp Web (relevant Hacker News thread). Changelog. Developer documentation. Features: Automatically retrieves the correct icon and app name. JavaScript and CSS injection. For more information, see the API documentation or run 'Nativefier --help'.
