What it does

Use this payload to add web clips to the Home screen of the user’s iOS device or to the Dock on a Mac. Web clips provide fast access to favorite webpages.

Create and sign Apple WebClip configuration profiles (.mobileconfig) for iOS and macOS.

Use this payload to add web clips to the Home screen of the user’s iOS device or to the Dock on a Mac. Web clips provide fast access to favorite webpages. For iOS devices, if you prevent the user from removing the web clip, the only way to remove it is to remove the configuration profile that installed it. Also, for iOS devices it must have a display name and an icon URL for the payload to be valid. A full-screen web clip on iOS devices opens the URL as a web app without a browser (there’s no URL or search bar, and no bookmarks). For Shared iPad devices, this payload is supported on the user channelfrom ivi.cx

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
