Google is engaged on a “Mall” app for Chrome OS. Mall is a brand new service that enables customers to find and set up extra internet apps.
Mall App
In keeping with a brand new Chromium OS code commits I noticed this morning, Google will quickly add an experimental Mall app to Chrome OS.
The Mall app itself will probably be an online app launching https://uncover.apps.chrome/ packaged as a PWA. I’m unable to entry the web site due to an HTTP-related error. If you happen to get it working, let me know within the feedback under.
We must always be capable to take a look at this app in an upcoming Canary channel launch of Chrome OS. Code feedback point out that Google desires to advertise this app giving it a promimnent place on the taskbar.
What’s That Title?
I like the concept of an app to advertise using internet apps in Chrome OS. Nonetheless, what’s with the “Mall” title, Google? I hope this can be a non permanent code title that you’ll change sooner or later.
If you happen to remeber, Google created afeature known as “Journeys” which was later renamed to “Teams”. The entire function made higher senses after renaming.
In case you are common Chromebook consumer look forward to this new app to indicate up in your Chromebook. in case you are a developer, I like to recommend begin studying up on how this function works and how one can get your app featured on the “App”.
How do you suppose that is going to be completely different from the Chrome Internet Retailer? Let me know within the feedback part under.
Supply: Chromium Gerrit.
