PWA - Progressive Web App

Progressive Web Apps are web apps that anyone can optionally install through the browser.

This is the default web app that you see hosted on Vercel.

Windows 10 + Google Chrome:


Manjaro i3 (Arch-based) + Brave:


Pop!_OS (Ubuntu-based) + Regolith + Google Chrome:


We can even open the PWA through the launcher:


Android 11 + Google Chrome (prompt at the bottom of the screen):

Capacitor - Mobile (Android, iOS)

With a simple command we can issue a mobile build from the same code base.

Since I don't have a Mac with me at the moment, I've only built the Android version (APK).

The APK is currently being built targeting Android SDK 29. However, since it has a minSdkVersion parameter of 21, any Android 5.0+ should be able to run the app.

If you wish to build for iOS, simply follow the steps in the Quasar documentation.

Android Studio emulator:

Electron - Desktop (Windows, Linux, macOS)

With a simple command we can issue a desktop build from the same code base.

Since I don't have a Mac with me at the moment, I've only built the Windows version (EXE) since that is what I'm using at the moment.

If you wish to build for other platforms, simply follow the steps in the Quasar documentation.

Windows 10:
