That is very interesting. But how do you push those apps to the
end-users without interrupting their browser experience?
You have to make them download the app and agree to elevate. It's
not going to be useful for content-based websites, but it
definitely has potential in areas where a download
would've/could've been necessary anyways e.g. music/video/image
editing, phone calls, file sharing, productivity, games, etc.
It really depends on how appealing it makes your application. If
your offer beats competition by far, a download won't be regarded
as disruptive.
