This project is a template project that allow developers to build their own WebView clients.
WebView clients are basically apps that only have a single WebView, and is meant to be used for a single website (e.g. Wordle). WebView clients are useful for websites that refuse to build apps (despite apps being a better experience). However, these WebView clients cannot be submitted to the App Store, and hence have to be built and deployed manually.
