I stumbled upon a useful website but come to find out its also a web app?!

The domain is .app. So what is cool is I was able to create its own entry in my phones app list by clicking the add to Home Screen button on Firefox.

My question is where can I find a website with lists of these with categories even

I didn’t have much success with search engine queries. Thanks!.

I don’t have anything to add, but +1.

A few useful web apps I’ve found are duolingo and Uber, which have native notifications on iOS without needing to install an app.

Thanks for reply. Do those have an .app extension? Where can they be found ?

OK after more digging they are called Progressive Web Apps (PWA’S)

Now that I found proper term I am getting many results.
