Field notes
Буран uses a site-declared opt-in rather than requiring a separate app wrapper: a meta tag signals support, while the existing web app manifest supplies the name and icon. Users add compatible sites from inside the browser and launch them through widget tiles. The homepage demonstrates the model with a reader, notes app, 25-minute timer, and a broken example that exposes missing site metadata. The beta is distributed through TestFlight by invitation.
