Convert a web page to an app in 10 seconds
I stumbled across this great tip on how to make any web page appear as an app using Google Chrome – courtesy of Make Use Of. This is but a 20 second tip so let’s get started.
I need a volunteer web page. I have been looking at the Zendone 2.0 features recently so let’s take Zendone as the example.
Step 1
Using the Google Chrome browser, navigate to the page that you would like to appear as an application.
Step 2
Go to the Chrome Settings, then “More tools”, then select “Add to Desktop”.
Step 3
A new window will pop up asking what you would like to name the desktop icon. Type whatever name suits and click the tick box for “Open as window”.
Step 4
Now go to your desktop where you should now find the new icon that you have just created. Double click on it and the page will now appear like a full application. The screenshot below shows how our Zendone now looks like as an app!
Thumbs up to the guys at Google and “Make use of” for this one!
