Support for PWA backed widgets is coming to windows soon:

> **[Display a PWA widget in the Windows Widgets Board - Microsoft Edge Developer...](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/progressive-web-apps-chromium/how-to/widgets)**
>
> How to build lightweight PWA-driven widgets that integrate in the operating system widgets dashboard.

Discourse could leverage widgets in some features, like:

- List of notifications

- List of assigned topics

- Quick Chat

- Forum stats, like numbers of online users, topics without response, etc.

I dunno about this “Windows” thing, but I would love something that integrates Discourse notifications with GNOME Shell. 🙂
