Operators and developers write apps and services for one platform and

then rewrite them for others. Users who want to buy phones, e-readers and game consoles from different manufacturers often need to re-purchase apps for each device.

Opportunities for Developers

Opportunities for Developers

Using HTML5 and the new Mozilla-proposed standard APIs, developers

everywhere will be able to create amazing experiences and apps.

Developers will no longer need to learn and develop against platform-

specific native APIs.

Customization for OEMs & OperatorsCustomization for OEMs & Operators

OEMs and operators will be able to provide content and services across

their entire device portfolio, regardless of OS. And they will be able

to customize user experiences, manage app distribution and retain

customer attention, loyalty and billing relationships.

Where open standards are missing, we're working with standards bodies and other

vendors to create them.

Writing Apps, Mozilla Marketplace

Web apps are apps built using standard Web technologies. They work in any modern Web browser, and can be developed using your favorite tools.

The Open Web apps project proposes some small additions to existing sites to turn them into apps that run in a rich, fun, and powerful computing environment.

These apps run on desktop browsers and mobile devices, and are easier for a user to discover and launch than Web sites.

Steps to TakeSteps to Take

Develop Web App using HTML5, CSS, & Javascript1.

Create an app manifest file2.

Publish/install the app3.

1. Develop Web App using HTML5, CSS & JavaScript

Reuse any existing web site/app or develop from scratch with open web standards.

Utilize HTML5 features such as localStorage, offline manifest, IndexedDB and access Web APIs for more options.

Responsive web design for adapting to varying resolutions and screen orientation.

2. Create an app manifest file

Create a file with a .webapp extensionCreate a file with a .webapp extension
