Does anybody knows enough about the Windows 10 style webapps? Is their
specification somehow compatible with the Mozilla style webapps? Does
anybody have a URL for such specification?

Best,

Matěj

This is a test of the emergency signature system. Were this an
actual signature, you would see amusing mottos, disclaimers,
a zillion net addresses, or edifying philosophical statements.
this is only test.

Matej,

As I understand it Windows 10 allows hosted web apps for the first time,
which means that you can create a web app (a web site) and submit it as
both a hosted Open Web App to the Firefox Marketplace (
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Apps) and a Universal App to the
Windows Store using ManifoldJS (
https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2015/07/06/project-westminster-in-a-nutshell/
).

Currently this will require additional work for each store as they use
different app formats. However, both Firefox OS and Windows 10 are working
towards support for the W3C web app manifest, so eventually all you'll have
to do is create one app manifest.

I hope that helps

Ben
