What did you do?
The use case is "Open the online playground as if it was a standalone app".
In Google Chrome (desktop), there is a very nice feature "Create Shortcut". Its creates an shortcut for the OS window manager, that opens the website in its own window, as if it were an app.
- Open Google Chrome
- Navigate to https://go.dev/play/
- Top Right
⋮ (kebab button) > More Tools > Create Shortcut...
- Check the box "Open as window"
- Click Create
It is very well integrated with OSX. Not so much with Ubuntu. YMMV.


What did you expect to see?
A new Gopher icon shows up in my dock (I'm on OSX)
What did you see instead?
A new Gopher icon shows up in my dock, but it is blurry.

In my screenshot,
- the 4 icons on the left are actual desktop apps
- the 3 icons on the right are shortcuts to the webapps Google Meet, Youtube and Youtube Music, which have high-res favicon
- I think the Gopher icon is https://go.dev/favicon.ico , which is not high-res.
I suggest we fix this with either a high-res raster favicon, or a vector favicon.
