title: Inline the Web App Manifest?
body: <p>I have a marketplace/web application with thousands of static single page apps. </p>
  
  <p>Wish to add a <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest" rel="noreferrer">Web App Manifest</a> for each single page app in the <code>&lt;head&gt; &lt;/head&gt;</code> tag of their corresponding <code>stem_url</code> (The {root}/index.html for all the <code>urls</code> of a given SPA). </p>
  
  <p>The standard method:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>…does not seem like a good way to go forward because this would mean thousands of manifest.js files being dumped into the <code>/public</code> folder (it's a rails app!) and it would eventually make the app/assets compilation job very heavy as this number goes up.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way we could inline manifest json just like we do the style tags:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;style&gt;
    body { // style here }
    …
  &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>An equivalent of manifest declaration:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;manifest&gt;
   { 
     "name": "HackerWeb",
     "short_name": "HackerWeb",
     …
  }
  &lt;/manifest&gt;
  </code></pre>
