Add Webmanifest / PWA Worker #321

There are FOSS turnkey solutions like PWABuilder, since;

  1. The app will be controversial for some time

  2. Some people do not trust even the established app-stores

    having a webapp may be good approach, user can get better experience without installing an actual app on their machine. Since PWAs can have workers the notifications can get a little more responsive, especially on iOS where they cannot exist without PWAs (I may be wrong.)

Good idea. Duolicious is built with Expo, which supports PWAs according to their documentation. Their notifications library also seems to have added support for web browsers in the past few months, so hopefully it shouldn't be too difficult to implement this now.
