I've been looking at the Chrome Store and I started to think about developing some nice stuff to publish there, since I have a machine installed with Chromium and I see the WebApp market a lot better than the platform-specific one. But what a site really needs and how it should be designed to be considered a WebApp?

I don't think there's a meaningful distinction. If you read Chrome Web Store docs:


Emphasis mine.

Therefore even the Google docs sees no distiction between a normal site and a web app.

All a website really needs to be considered the site of a web app is, well, an app. Of course there are many other things that should be on the site such as a Contact page and I believe that a company blog is always a nice touch. I recommend going with a minimalist layout for a web app as no body likes clutter.
