installable app support

[maxence-charriere]

Hey, I'm the creator of go-app.

I was thinking that it would be cool to have this available as an installable app. I updated the package version to v7.0.3 and it makes it possible with GitHub Pages hosted apps.

You would just have to update go-app and push it to your repo.

Also, since your app is white, you may want to tweak the handler by specifying a white theme color:

app.Handler{
    // ...
    ThemeColor: "#ffffff",
}

Best,
Maxence

You may also want to put your own logo since the default one will be go-app logo.

app.Handler{
    ThemeColor: "#ffffff",
    Icon: app.Icon{
          Default: "/web/YOUR_ICON.png",
    },
}

Updated to 7.0.3.
I don't have a logo, so I will keep using the default one.
Will apply themecolor tweak.

[maxence-charriere]

Awesome.
I think you also have to re-generate your static files.

@maxence-charriere Yes I just realized that

I applied the suggested tweak, and also tried to set the background color, but the loading screen is still dark.

	h := &app.Handler{
		Name:            "astextract",
		Title:           "astextract",
		BackgroundColor: "#ffffff",
		ThemeColor:      "#ffffff",
		Author:          "lu4p",
		Styles:          []string{"https://unpkg.com/spectre.css/dist/spectre.min.css"},
	}

Or what is the purpose of the theme color?

Regenerated files are now live. So the app can be installed with mobile browsers.

When you install on chrome on desktop, the windows bar color can be customized:

// The theme color for the application. This affects how the OS displays the
// app (e.g., PWA title bar or Android's task switcher).
//
// DEFAULT: #2d2c2c.
ThemeColor string

for the loading screen, you can overload the color with css:

.goapp-app-info {
    color: black;
    background-color: white;
}

Ok thanks.

@maxence-charriere Set the themecolor to white now.
