Run Web Applications in Linux Using Tangram Browser
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
_**Brief:** Tangram is a browser that aims to help you run and manage web applications in Linux_. _Let’s take a look at how it works._
|
||
|
||
Even if we have native Linux applications available for several tools, many end up using web applications.
|
||
|
||
Maybe in the form of an electron app or directly through a web browser, native experiences are becoming an old-school thing.
|
||
|
||
Of course, running web applications, no matter the platform, needs more system resources. And, considering every service is going for a web-based approach instead of a native experience, we need solutions to manage the web apps efficiently.
|
||
|
||
An open-source Linux app, Tangram, could be the solution.
|
||
|
||
### Tangram: A Browser Tailored to Run Web Applications
|
||
|
||
![][1]
|
||
|
||
You can choose to use some of the [best Linux web browsers][2] to run web applications. But, if you want something that entirely focuses on web application experience, Tangram is an exciting option.
|
||
|
||
The developer took inspiration from GNOME Web, [Franz][3], and [Rambox][4].
|
||
|
||
You do not get any fancy features but just the ability to change the user agent and manage the web applications you have logged in to.
|
||
|
||
It can be used to access multiple social media platforms, chat messengers, work collaboration applications, and more.
|
||
|
||
### Features of Tangram
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Considering it is a minimal browser based on WebKitGTK, not much you can do here. To list some of the essentials, here’s what you can do:
|
||
|
||
* Re-order tabs in the sidebar
|
||
* Easily add any web service as a web app
|
||
* Ability to tweak the user agent (Desktop/mobile)
|
||
* Keyboard shortcuts
|
||
* Change position of the sidebar (tab bar)
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
All you need to do is load up a web service, log in, and click on “**Done**” to add it as a web application.

### Installing Tangram in Linux
|
||
|
||
Tangram is available as a Flatpak for every Linux distribution, and you can also find it in [AUR][7].
|
||
|
||
If you want to install it via the terminal, type in the following command:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
flatpak install flathub re.sonny.Tangram
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You may refer to our [Flatpak guide][8] if you do not have it enabled on your system.
|
||
|
||
To explore more about it, you can check out its [GitHub page][9].
