Installed PWA - blank screen on launch

I have a web PWA at https://ourcardgame.ca   After opening it in Edge, the option (icon with plus symbol) to install the App appears in the address bar.  Clicking that and choosing "Install" works ...

    It turns out that the problem was in the PWA's manifest.json file as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54928050/vue-pwa-blank-screen-after-closing-the-app

     

    By default, the manifest file had "./index.html" as the start URL.

    {
     "start_url": "./index.html"
    }  

     

    Changing that to be "/" resolved the problem.
