What is Nativefier?
Nativefier is a command-line tool to easily create a desktop application for any web site with succinct and minimal configuration. Apps are wrapped by Electron in an OS executable (.app, .exe, etc.) for use on Windows, macOS and Linux.
I did this because I was tired of having to ?-tab or alt-tab to my browser and then search through the numerous open tabs when I was using Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp Web (relevant Hacker News thread).
Changelog. Developer docs.
Features:
- Automatically retrieves the correct icon and app name.
- JavaScript and CSS injection.
- Many more, see the API docs or nativefier --help

Unfortunately there is still no official native version of WhatsApp for Silicon Mac devices. I was using Multi, but that stopped working today due to it's version of Safari being out of date for Whatsapp (I hate Whatsapp grr). Nativefier has saved the day :)
