Has anyone ever heard of or used this webapp converter before? (play.google.com)

It looks like a very well built app to convert web pages to lite apps. It also seems to be based on Firefox and seems to include something similar to that of Firefox Multiaccount Containers for every webapp, on top of an adblocker. Seems very neat. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about whether or not it is open source and how the privacy and security potentially is?

Edit: I am aware of Native Alpha but it is very ugly with bad interface and hasn't been updated in two years, and also doesn't really sandbox apps to my knowledge like this does.

I only know of hermit and native alpha. 1st time hearing about this. Compared to hermit appears to be only 2 years old vs 10 years for hermit.

There are lots of mention of Native Alpha and hermit in the description. Very strange I never found this option in the 2 years it existed on the play store. Being based on firefox sounds neat. Good for everyone who wants their user agent to be firefox everyone even in lite apps.

Would give it a shot and see what it holds. But, I don't see myself switching from hermit.

I see there are two veesions of hermit. Paid and free, what is the difference between them?

The paid app is the unlocker. It does not do anything by itself. You can check the features on the website or see the play store description.
