Webapp integration via site specific browsers
I propose that ICE from peppermint OS be modified to work with Epiphany, as Epiphany is the official browser of Elementary OS, and it become an official application of Elementary OS. While Webapps are still not currently better than Native Apps in most situations, in the absents of a native app they would certainly be preferable. This seems to me to be the simplest solution to integrate Webapps into Elementary OS. Epiphany already is set up for web apps. Patching this all in either to the appcenter or the control panel or something like that.

Whiteboard
Another possible avenue is creating a graphical front end for the nativefier application created for githubs Electron framework. But then each SSB would be a chromium like SSB. With ICE currently Firefox, Vivaldi, Chrome, and Chromium are supported. Extending it to epiphany and keeping the other browsers presents choice. The Chromium related SSB's seem to come with the current addons from their parent browser already installed while firefox SSB's seem to not have their parents addons installed.~Ronald
