Fix considering "same domain-ish" URLs as internal (PR #1126) 
In 6b266b7815, as I got rid of deprecated dep `wurl`, I wrote:

> This one may be problematic, as it used to do TLD stuff:
> https://github.com/websanova/node-url/blob/7982a613bc/wurl.js#L4
>
> So, the new WHATWG-URL-based implementation will consider
> `asana.com` to be "external" to `app.asana.com`, contrarily to before.
> Given the nature of Nativefier, I think it's actually what to expect,
> that in this case you're "out of the app", and in e.g. asana's landing
> page, which you'd expect to see in your browser.

Turns out it's even more problematic: @TheCleric notices in https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier/pull/1124#issuecomment-790279403
that this breaks app `https://evernote.com` doing its login in `www.evernote.com`

The present change fixes this, by behaving mostly similarly to before,
but without re-introducing `wurl` or another dep needing a TLD/SLD list.

Nativefier

👋 dear users / contributors! Public service announcement!

Nativefier is maintained by YOU. It's reasonably sane to hack on nowadays, it fits the use cases needed by the original author and the current maintainer, so we are not doing any active development.

But it's alive! It at least follows Electron releases with maintenance patches, and if YOU use it and want to see juicy features & fixes, PR welcome! Help welcome in particular on our pinned issues, or any issue / feature that motivates you 🙂.

Thanks! Take care.

You want to make a native wrapper for WhatsApp Web (or any web page).

You're done.

Introduction

Nativefier is a command-line tool to easily create a desktop app for any web site with minimal configuration. Apps are wrapped by Electron (which uses Chromium under the hood) 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 (HN thread). Nativefier features:

  • Automatically retrieval of app icon / name.
  • JavaScript and CSS injection.
  • Many more, see the API docs or nativefier --help

Installation

  • macOS 10.9+ / Windows / Linux
  • Node.js >= 10 and npm >= 6
  • Optional dependencies:
    • ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick to convert icons. Make sure convert and identify or gm are in your system $PATH.
    • Wine to package Windows apps under non-Windows platforms. Make sure wine is in your system $PATH.

Then, install Nativefier globally with npm install -g nativefier

Usage

To create a native desktop app for medium.com, simply nativefier "medium.com"

Nativefier will try to determine the app name, and well as lots of other options. If desired, these options can be overwritten. For example, to override the name, nativefier --name 'My Medium App' 'medium.com'

Read the API documentation or run nativefier --help to learn about other command-line flags usable to configure the packaged app.

To have high-resolution icons used by default for an app/domain, please contribute to the icon repository!

Usage with Docker

Nativefier is also usable from Docker.

  • Pull the latest stable image from Docker Hub: docker pull nativefier/nativefier
  • ... or build the image yourself: docker build -t local/nativefier . (in this case, replace nativefier/ in the below examples with local/)

By default, the command nativefier --help will be executed. To build e.g. a Gmail nativefier app to a writable local ~/nativefier-apps,

docker run --rm -v ~/nativefier-apps:/target/ nativefier/nativefier https://mail.google.com/ /target/

You can pass Nativefier flags, and mount volumes to provide local files. For example, to use an icon,

docker run --rm -v ~/my-icons-folder/:/src -v $TARGET-PATH:/target nativefier/nativefier --icon /src/icon.png --name whatsApp -p linux -a x64 https://web.whatsapp.com/ /target/
