We can later make a config setting in your profile.

Devs will want their IDE in another window from their dashboard (and corporate apps like email) so they can see all of them at the same time.

Pop out as opposed to a new tab? Seems pretty sensible.

I'd prefer the manifest-per-application (PWA-pa) approach.

We've done this in v1 with code that assembles the manifest on the fly.

Roughly:

  // Append manifest to head.
  useEffect(() => {
    // construct manifestElement from manifest
    // ...
    const manifestElement = document.createElement("link")
    document.head.appendChild(manifestElement)
  }, [manifest])

An alternative is to make the entire coder dashboard a PWA, but we've gone that route before and it's not as great of an experience as solely having the applications as native-like installs.

@vapurrmaid that seems to be an even better enhancement.

Since the original proposal is a one line change, I think the PWA behavior should be in a separate issue. There's also the matter of how apps behave when the user refuses PWAs.

A large investment bank customer says pop-out is their users' preferred choice.
