This PR adds the missing 'display: standalone' property to the PWA manifest configuration in vite.config.js. This change ensures that when the Piped frontend is installed as a PWA, it launches in standalone mode without showing the browser address bar, providing a more native app-like experience.

Changes Made:

  • Added display: "standalone" to PWA manifest for native-like appearance
  • Added description property for better PWA metadata
  • Added start_url: "/" to specify app launch URL

Testing:

To test these changes:

  1. Build the application with pnpm build
  2. Install the PWA from the browser
  3. Launch the installed PWA - address bar should be hidden

This fix resolves the issue where the PWA would show browser chrome instead of running in full-screen standalone mode.

- Add display: 'standalone' to PWA manifest for native app-like experience
- Add description and start_url properties for better PWA metadata
