As part of our Q4 goals, the Web App Developer Initiative team have created a [https://platatus.herokuapp.com/ Firefox Platform Status app] [https://github.com/mozilla/platatus (codenamed platatus)]. The goals of this project are to (1) provide a Firefox-centric companion to [https://www.chromestatus.com/features chromestatus.com] and [https://dev.windows.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/status/ dev.modern.ie]; and (2) show how Service Worker and W3C app manifest can enrich and improve the web app experience.
