Add multi-profile support to web app installer

Add multi-profile support for web app installer

This PR enhances the web app installer to support multiple browser profiles, allowing users to create separate web apps from different Chromium profiles.

Changes:

• Installer: Added profile detection and selection
  • Automatically detects available Chromium profiles (Default, Profile 1, etc.)
  • Shows profile selection menu when multiple profiles exist
  • Uses single profile automatically when only one exists

Use case:

Users can now install the same web app (e.g., Teams, Discord) multiple times with different browser profiles, allowing separate work/personal accounts to run simultaneously.

Example:

• Teams (Work profile)
• Teams (Personal profile)

• Both appear as separate desktop applications

Correct profile names.

This feature is exactly what i'm waiting for, thanks so much for your work

I think you need to simplify the web app view for this use case.

After Omarchy ASCII logo,

Let's create a new web app you can start with the app launcher.

We're not creating a web app here. The profile already exists and is detected.

You could replace the Omarchy ASCII logo with default browser icon. That'd be nice. Easy to grasp.

• Which browser
• Select Browser Profile
• Enter

From Omarchy v3.0.0, omarchy-launch-or-focus was introduced.
Because of this I had to make some modifications to your fork to have it work with the new release.
I'm updating it here @przemekmatsumoto in case you want to follow up further on this PR.

This looks amazing waiting to see this in a new release.

[przemekmatsumoto]

@Prajwal-Prathiksh thank you, I will try to fix it tomorrow or next week, I also need to resolve conflict with the webapp-install 🙂

[przemekmatsumoto]

If the user only has one profile in the browser, the script won't ask for it; it will automatically create using "Default".

I don't know if this is what rez1coder had in mind about changing the Omarchy logo 😄.

I don't know if this is what rez1coder had in mind about changing the Omarchy logo 😄.

Might need to change chromium if Ladybird and Firefox catch up with frameless web-app windows.

The default browser icon was a suggestion. I hadn't considered multi-browser setups. You nailed it.

If DHH doesn't like chromium or browser ASCII, the default Omarchy logo works fine.
