Add support for manifest.json in OTP release

I’m not sure if it can be done with the build-from-source releases (I suspect yes), but this would be to request support for creating a manifest.json file so that mobile devices (primarily iOS) can create full-screen “apps” from the pleroma-fe UI in an OTP release.

I believe this should also work on Android as well, at least when using the Chrome browser.

Having pleroma-fe be a PWA would be nice.

i mean, all you’d have to do is add a couple files into the frontend, right? shouldn’t be that hard

we technically already have a manifest, but need a few more things like icons to make google like it

Not going to lie, but I’m REALLY looking forward to this. Since there aren’t any native mobile clients that have most of the new features of Akkoma, I’ve been using the Pleroma-FE UI and a shortcut on my phone. Having it open as a separate app will help a lot in keeping my browser tabs organized without dozens of tabs opened to my timeline.

I like the icon also

As much as I do, too, I hope we can customize that, or that it automatically uses the instance’s icon.

you can overwrite it, as with all static files
