Hello.

I've just made a thing. It's a little utility to add "progressive web app" type features to PICO-8 html exports.

That gives you the benefits of a web delivered app that can be "installed" on your device and should even work offline. The tool gently tweaks the exported html, then adds a service worker (for caching); a manifest and icons for presentation. Google's Lighthouse audit tool seems reasonably happy with the result and my brief testing seems to show that it works.

The project lives on GitHub.

Your game, on your homescreen, available anywhere.

It's only the beginning, and very much a work in progress.

Have fun, let me know if you have any issues.

I love what you can do with PICO-8.

Cheers.
