Make Bitwarden a Progressive Web App (PWA)

The pop-out window for the browser extension is great, but sometimes I wish I could have a standalone app for my chromebook. I know I can install the Android app, but something native would function better, and still connect to the browser autofill. The community has a PWA, it would be nice of BitWarden did too.

since i switched from firefox browser to MS Edge i’m missing bitwarden in my sidebar.
there is a way to load bitwarden in the sidebar, but it has scrollbars and doesnt works very well

plugin in sidebar of firefox :

MS Edge supports PWA apps in the sidebar.
I’m looking forward to a PWA version of bitwarden and hope it will solve my issue

bitwarden in sidebar of Edge :

As a new user and PWA enthusiast, I am perplexed that bitwarden.com offers a PWA despite being of no obvious use as an application, while the actual application which is at vault.bitwarden.com offers no PWA.

Trying to sign in the the PWA (bitwarden.com) just opens a new tab in the browser (vault.bitwarden.com).

In anticipation of the question, I am aware of the plugins for browsers but am not looking for that function, but the specific function of the PWA, i.e. an application for my desktop platforms based on my chosen profile in my preferred web browser.
