PWA manifest groundwork shipped, ReviewTrackers comparison live
Two things shipped today that don't obviously belong together — one is infrastructure you won't notice yet, and one closes the competitor comparison section we've been building through Days 45–49.
PWA manifest — what changed and why it comes before the install prompt
The manifest.json got a proper upgrade: full icon set (16×16 through 512×512, including the 180px Apple touch icon), start_url, scope, and theme_color metadata.
Here's why this matters for the actual user. Most of our target customers aren't sitting at a desk with a browser tab open. They're a salon owner checking reviews between appointments, a restaurant manager glancing at their phone during a lull, a gym owner doing a quick scan before opening. The most natural way to do that is from a home screen shortcut — not a bookmarked URL in Safari.
Without a real manifest, adding Ominvo to your home screen gave you a generic browser icon and full browser chrome when you opened it. With the manifest in place, you get the actual Ominvo icon and a full-screen app experience. That matters for a tool you're reaching for quickly a few times a day.
The icons cover every standard size: 16, 32, and 48 for favicons; 180 for Apple touch; 192 and 512 for Android and Chrome. These are proper PNG exports at each size, not one file stretched to fit.
This is groundwork, not a finished PWA. The service worker and install prompt land in Day 50–51. You can't retrofit a good install experience on top of a missing manifest — the icon, start_url, and scope all have to exist before the browser will show an install prompt. This had to go first.
/vs/reviewtrackers — the fourth and final tab
The ReviewTrackers comparison page is live, and the tab on the homepage CompetitorTabs section that previously showed a "coming soon" overlay is now unlocked. All four tabs are active.
ReviewTrackers is not a bad product. It's genuinely good for the customer it was built for: a multi-location franchise operator or an enterprise team that needs cross-location reporting, dashboards, and analytics exports for regional stakeholders. If you manage dozens of locations and need to pull monthly review performance reports for a VP, ReviewTrackers probably makes sense.
If you run one location, the product is several sizes too large — and the pricing reflects it. ReviewTrackers doesn't publish a number. You fill out a form, an SDR calls you, and you find out the price after a conversation you didn't ask for. The comparison page is honest about this: we're not strawmanning their product. Their strength is enterprise reporting, and that's not a strength that matters to a solo operator who wants to know when a new review lands and reply to it before the shift ends.
Ominvo's pricing is on the website. $30/month, no contract, no sales call. The ROI calculator will show you what that buys in terms of review velocity and revenue lift if you want to check the math before committing. And if you're still working out how the product actually fits into a single-location workflow, How it works covers the loop from review notification to AI draft to one-tap approval.
The competitor section is done. Four pages — Birdeye, Podium, Grade.us, ReviewTrackers — same honest structure across all of them. These tools were built for operators managing multiple locations with dedicated marketing staff. Ominvo was built for one owner doing it themselves.
Day 50 starts the PWA install prompt and service worker.
