Glad I’m not the only one who get irritated with browser chrome and other “browserisms” like having to include a bespoke menu system that web apps uses instead of the macOS global menubar because browser menus already occupy it.
Google Docs for instance would be a lot more nice and clean without the clutter of the browser toolbar and redundant menu system eating up all that vertical space. It’s simple enough to hack together a WebKit/Electron wrapper to get you the first half, but you’re stuck with the redundant menubar no matter what.
Actually now that I’m thinking about it, it seems like a massive oversight that the PWA spec doesn’t seem to have anything for desktop menus.
