Is there any reason why we aren't attempting to use their marketplace as an app provider? That they don't employ appstream might be an issue:)<br>

<p dir="ltr">No, I don't think it does. They use indexdb so you can store the docs offline. As Michael said, this feature only just landed in, I guess, webkit2-gtk (or whatever it's called).</p>
<p dir="ltr">My question remains, however: why not make use of the Mozilla marketplace? The installed app even shows up as properly installed in Software (only a 1\2 star rating, which., iirc, only indicates how much of the appstream metadata the package included). <br>
Mozilla seems like the kind of organization Fedora should have a closer relationship with, and I don't see the need to duplicate their efforts. Additionally, in the not very distant future, we're going to want to take a careful look at the servo as a replacement to webkit2 since they are supporting the chromium embedding framework, and their radically advanced architecture.</p>
