Wappify is a Firefox extension for Android that lets you install any website as a true standalone app in full-screen, with no address bar, and your favorite extensions (like uBlock Origin adblocker and/or SponsorBlock) still active.

Firefox has a built-in "Add to Home Screen" feature, but it only works properly on sites that define a valid web manifest (like X or Reddit). Most sites don't, so instead of an "Install app" option, you only get a regular shortcut that opens in a normal browser tab.

Wappify fixes that. It automatically provides the missing manifest data (name, icon, theme color, etc.), allowing you to install any site as a real app.

For example, you can: Install YouTube as a real full-screen app with Adblock and SponsorBlock active (and more extensions if you have any).

Turn any website (news, tools, dashboards, etc.) into a standalone app. You can choose the title of the app and choose an icon or upload your own icon.

How it works: - Install the Wappify extension on Firefox for Android. - Open any site. - Open the Wappify extension and hit "Wappify" - The browser will reload and and now there is an option to install the site.

An app icon appears on your home screen. Launch it anytime in full-screen mode, with all your favorite Firefox extensions still working.


Validating incoming data or array's (i.e. POST data) should not be hard. Meet Modern PHP Validator which does the trick nice, clean and easy.

Here are a couple of the many perks:

- 70+ predefined validation rules; - 15+ predefined middleware or create your own custom middleware; - No new syntax you need to learn as in the case with i.e. Laravel Validator. Your editor/IDE can complete every validation rule, custom message, middleware, etc. out of the box; - Easy retrieving the validated data after validation; - Combine multiple fields as one for single validation (i.e. day, month, year inputs as a single date field for validation); - Use validation blueprints to extend other validators for DRY method; - Define you own validation rules and custom error messages.

Modern PHP Validator provides several approaches to validate your application's (incoming) data. It makes it a breeze to validate form submit values as combining multiple input for single validation. It supports middleware and custom validation rules and error messages. It will also return the validated data to insert the data into i.e. a database.
