MacPin doesn't really do it for me anymore. Safari 9 added Pinned Tabs, so its not the only provider of pinned pages on OSX anymore. There also a story to be told for iOS.. potentially bridging native functions & advanced data acquisition to sites.

I want the new name to suggest the App-yness that the tool creates from not much more than a website. And bonus, differentiating from fully-programmable toolboxes like Electron.

"SiteShim" is my only idea at the moment...

Tagline: Turn a website into a single-window App, configured with Javascript.

I think "Docking" is a better descriptor of what this project does.

Even if It's called Springboard on iOS, it's the same deal there.

I usually call these things SSBs (Site Specific Browsers)?
