DeskWeb is a freemium Windows Store utility that lets you run a sequence of chrome less, non-interrupting web pages in the background on a Windows PC.




I built DeskWeb as a personal solution for running analytics displays and dashboards on my Windows Desktop. The key intent of the product is to enable a rotating list of web pages to run chrome less in the background. where they are always available at-a-glance, but where they won't pop over your current work if you accidentally click on them.
The app is published under a freemium model, with the free version having slightly reduced functionality and a low impact nag popover.
After finishing the app, I decided to publish it to the Windows Store, mainly for the learning experience, but also to see if it could make some side-hustle beer money.
I'm launching it here to raise awareness of the application. Hopefully it will be useful to some people.
I am also looking for ideas on how to enhance the premium functionality for future versions. Some ideas that I've already had already are:
- support displaying multiple web pages in a grid
- support automated interaction (keystrokes/mouse moves etc) with the displayed web pages.
Here is a quick video showing all of my desktop widgets working together on my machine:
