MacOS Native App

[Thomas Johnson 14]

I am a software developer, and have been producing small standalone apps so that apps I use in a tab can have their own dedicated icon.

I have produced for myself a "Windy" MacOS app, which is just a window wrapper around https://www.windy.com and nothing different than a browser with 1 tab.

You can easily produce something like this yourself, but if you want the actual sources, feel free to reach out. I of course won't be hosting it myself on the app store.

I've added a feature that, when the app goes to the background, after 30 seconds the view is removed, so that the app does not use CPU and can stay open 24/7. It reloads the url on return.
