web install api

The web install API is a proposed standard being tested by Google and Microsoft engineers to allow websites and third-party app directories to trigger the installation of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) directly from web pages. This API aims to move install discovery away from app store silos and onto the open web, enabling PWAs to be installed without navigating through browser-specific prompts or storefronts. On WindowsForum.com, discussions cover the technical details, browser support, and implications for web developers and users, including how this API could streamline PWA distribution and enhance the user experience on Windows and other platforms.
