Hey Product Hunters! These days, we’re used to getting a browser update every two weeks. But what if I said that your browser was outdated? Browsers were invented 30 years ago, and their only function is surfing the web. In 2020, 73% of US companies used cloud services, with each employee using an average of 8 web applications. Imagine needing to have 8 web apps always hanging in your browser to be immediately accessible! Web apps should always be on hand to quickly open and not interfere with your browser tabs. Browsers are trying to solve this problem by adding unnecessary features like pinned tabs, shortcuts, and side panels. But that’s not enough! If you’ve ever scrambled to find a tab among 50 others, been distracted by social networks, or waited impatiently for pages to load, you need Firework! Firework allows you to seamlessly create web apps: • Your everyday web apps are always at hand. You can add work web apps like Gmail, Trello, Calendar, anything. They will turn into separate desktop apps, and you can pin them to the Taskbar or the Dock. • All your web apps are located in a single place. The Firework main window works just like the Start button. By clicking on it, you can immediately see all your apps and quickly run them. You can also do the same thing with a simple keyboard shortcut. • Your web apps will be ready to launch right away. You don’t even need to wait for the page to load: they’ll open up just like regular desktop apps. Also, like regular desktop apps, your web apps will open in separate windows. • It’s easy to work with different browser profiles and use one service under different accounts. Web apps are not web pages: they should be true apps!

@afedorovn Looks awesome! I'll give it a try ;) thanks for sharing man!

@afedorovn Cool product, Does it get any extra benefits if the site in question has already implemented itself as a progressive web app?
Alexey Fedorov
@crowdhailer If you add PWA to Firework, you will got PWA benefits with native app benefits. Such like like putting it on tray, moving from one app to another by Alt + Tab, ready-to-use when you close it (you don't lose session and don't have to wait till app is loaded).
Peter Saxton
@afedorovn thanks for the answer. I've recently added PWA functionality to https://sendmemo.app and mostly I'm pleased with the result but there are still a rough edge or two and this sounds like it might really help. All be it will only help with my own use of the app but that's a start.
Alexey Fedorov
@crowdhailer Please tell me what you get. Some web apps developers use Firework as an official desktop client.

Great effort, guys. You should definitely work on your License agreement and other legal docs if you want this thing to fly internationally.
Alexey Fedorov
@vasgo Yes, sure. We will do it. Thanks! 🙇🏻‍♂️

Wow. This app is quite a necessity. By end of the day I’ve opened every app multiple times in tabs, Putting too much load on my browser.
Alexey Fedorov
@bilal_chaglani Glad you like it. I believe that this is a useful app, I use it every day.
