Comment (by westonruter):

 In the Jetpack defaults
 [https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/blob/12648fad888d48e2647b1a2aa07e756035e6f2ee/modules/pwa/class
 .jetpack-pwa-manifest.php#L61 there is]:

 {{{
 'short_name' => substr( get_bloginfo( 'name' ), 0, 12 ),
 }}}

 Where was the length of 12 determined? Truncating it like that could
 produce undesirable results. At least an ellipsis should be added, but
 otherwise maybe it would be better to default to the domain name (if not a
 subdirectory multisite install).

 I think the `name` and `shortname` is also missing a good default configs
 for `lang` and `dir` which we can provide automatically.

 Also, for `display` perhaps the default of `browser` is better than
 `standalone`? Just thinking that if this is rolled out across all
 WordPress installs does it make sense for every WordPress site I add to my
 homescreen to be a different standalone app by default? I think that
 should maybe be opt-in via filter.

 I think including `scope` in addition to `start_url ` may be worthwhile.
