🚀 Feature Request: Allow Artifacts to be Saved as Apps on Home Screen with App Launcher
📝 Summary
Enhance Open WebUI by allowing users to save artifacts as apps on the home screen. Each app should be launchable in fullscreen and customizable with a user-defined or AI-generated logo.
🔍 Problem Statement
Currently, artifacts created in Open WebUI (such as documents, code snippets, or widgets) are not easily accessible. Users must navigate back through previous sessions or workspaces, reducing workflow efficiency.
🎯 Proposed Solution
Save as App Option
Add a "Save as App" button to artifacts.
Prompt the user to name the app and assign a logo (user-defined or AI-generated).
Home Screen App Launcher
Create a section for saved apps on the home screen.
Clicking an app launches it in fullscreen mode.
Customization Options
Allow users to upload custom logos.
Provide AI-generated icons by default.
Enable renaming and deleting saved apps.
Reusability & Sharing
Allow apps to be shared with other users.
Implement export/import functionality for cross-device use.
🛠️ Alternative Solutions i have Considered
A bookmarking feature instead of apps (less efficient).
Using browser bookmarks (requires leaving Open WebUI).
📷 Additional Context
This feature would improve workflow efficiency and support reusable, quick-access productivity tools.
