Abstract: Web applications are created and installed in response to user interactions with browser menus and browser links. In some instances, a browser menu selection or a selection of an icon associated with a URL in a web browser triggers the web application creation. A link to the web application may be presented in a task bar or a menu of an application on a client device.

Abstract: A Web application maintains a record of Web content that has been displayed by the Web application. The user can navigate to different previously displayed Web content by providing various user inputs, such as a swipe across a touchscreen. The Web application detects when a user input has a threshold likelihood of being a navigation input, such as when the user swipes at least a threshold amount across a touchscreen. When a user input has a threshold likelihood of being a navigation input, the Web application begins rendering in an empty tab the Web content that would be navigated to if the user input were a navigation input, the empty tab becoming a prerender tab. If the user continues and the user input results in a navigation input navigating to the Web content rendered in the prerender tab, then the Web application switches to displaying the prerender tab.

Abstract: Drag and drop operations are associated with the installation of web applications. In some instances, drag and drop operations include the selection of an icon associated with a URL in a web browser. When the selected icon is dragged to a taskbar of a desktop, a corresponding web application file is created.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide a mechanism to allow end users to install web applications and websites onto their desktop. In accordance with one or more embodiments, client-side code can be utilized to allow developers associated with a website to define boundaries associated with user interaction, and have those boundaries enforced by a run-time engine. In at least some embodiments, developers can provide, through JavaScript code and/or HTML markup, various configurations for the creation of a start menu shortcut, navigation, and so-called jumplist integration.

Abstract: Various embodiments receive, at a client device, selection of a website integration feature and initiate, on behalf of an associated website, a web application installation process. The process causes a web application file to be created on the client device and populated with web application content including a list that constitutes a set of relevant tasks or content that is configured to be presented to a user. The list defines one or more dynamic elements that can be dynamically updated by the website.
