Making desktop webapps

[janw.oostendorp]

Sorry if this is the wrong part of the forum, I'm not sure where this should go.

I want to create a webapp that works on a desktop. With it's own program icon and stuff. Like this pacman: https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/pacman-canvas?src=search.

I found a few sources that seem to explain how to create a firefox OS app. But that's not what I want.
sources:
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Apps/Quickstart/Build/Your_first_app
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Apps/Build
And I tried a few things with the IDE in de developer edition, but can't figure it out.
From what I tried, is it true you can't use Iframes?

I also just want to run/install my app locally without using the marketplace.


Can anybody point me in the right direction/ get me started.

I believe the sources you found to create a Firefox OS app are what you want.

The Pacman you linked to installs and works on the desktop.

Sorry, I can't help you with your other questions.

Maybe this: https://developer.mozilla.org/Marketplace/Options/Open_web_apps_for_desktop - it refers to "Web Runtime for Desktop"
