Web app manifest (JSON) using weblog Files

[anniegreens]

I’m hoping to create a web app manifest using weblog Files and assuming that isn’t going to be an issue, but wanted to confirm first.

Shouldn’t be a problem! I believe with Content-type: application/json and the right manifest syntax things will work as expected, but let me know if you run into any issues.

@anniegreens @adam I’m genuinely curious what this allows, as it certainly sounds intriguing?

[anniegreens]

Not sure if you’re referring to the weblog “File” (w/ content type) or the manifest.

If the latter, a web app manifest defines additional assets/info for use with Progressive Web Apps that can be saved on your home screen and used offline. More info on MDN: Web app manifests | MDN

Yes it was the manifest, thanks for the link and explainer!
