Did you just re-invent Progressive Web Applications?

- Don't think so, websites themselves have to implement pwa's, you can't force it client side

  Not saying I disagree, but what specifically would you prefer? Gecko? Or is there something better? (Maybe I'm just engaging in wishful thinking asking if there's something better.)

Can you share some info about it? I don't get any info on the page on codeberg without reading the code. What engine does it use?

- Made with Gtk4, WebKitGTK, libadwaita and Flatpak.
  
  WebKit based, which is interesting. I don't have much experience with WebKit on Linux.

- why can't I see my comment when I browse lemmy.ml without being logged in?
  
  The post got upvoted so someone must have been able to see it.
  
  There is even another post from someone on lemmy.zip

lol, I was doing exactly the same, mostly because the gnome app for it (webapp-manager) does not do one thing I badly want : open all non-app links in the default browser and not on instances of itself. Also, I love the webkitgtk project and this allows me to give it an usage.
I will give a look at your project, I think is better contribute to it than have two (or more) projects doing the same 😜
