      Hi all,
      So recently I have taken the opportunity to teach myself how to make a simple webapp. I decided to look over the new documentation UBports put out, and used a 2019 Ubucon Europe video as a visual reference. I noticed that in the 2019 video, the presenter was using clickable and clickable displayed a "simple-webapp" template (see about 8:27 on the video). This doesn't seem to be the case now.

      My ultimate question is, how does someone go about making a "simple webapp" on UT in current year 2021?

        @nocturn-adrift I would use Webapp Creator or Webber in the OpenStore.

          @totalrando Yes, I understand that Webber and Webapp Creator can do this in a bind. I believe both of those apps are great when in a bind, but ultimately I am looking to have the know-how as to actually make one from scratch, i.e., how did the creator of Webber make his first webapp? Obviously he would have to know how to make one from scratch so he could make Webber itself. I am looking to make the chicken, not the egg (if that makes any sense).

            @nocturn-adrift Ah. That's above my pay grade then.

              @nocturn-adrift You have a bit outdated guide here:

              https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/appdev/webapp/guide.html

              What Webber and Webapp Creator are using the command in a the desktop file under Exec= (check for example Tweet webapp code)

              We discourage the creation of this kind of webapps, that's why Webber and Webapp Creator are better options (for user's personal installation).

              Webapps that adds some functionalities, can be created selecting qml or html app types, after using clickable create

              Another planet, another time, another universe!

                @nocturn-adrift the template was removed so that simple webapps didn't flood the store 🙂

                  @nocturn-adrift if you want to create from scratch, you are then basically writing your own webbrowser based on qtwebengine

                    some examples:

                    https://github.com/mateosalta/cuddly-bassoon

                    https://gitlab.com/ubports/apps/qt-webengine-demo

                    this one is with the built in webapp container, is much more simple, just rename everything you need

                        I was thinking of automating the creation of clickable WebApps from scratch online games and apps through https://sheeptester.github.io/htmlifier/
