Ahh man, that would make the launch from home screen so much nicer. Bookmarking a data url is clever, but adds a good second to launch time.

The old (profile-based) version had the same restriction, actually! The data URL is the best solution we came up with.
Can you not create a home screen link directly to the app?

Well darn, it looks like you can't. That's crummy. I thought I could get clever with `history.pushState`, but that doesn't let you change the URL scheme without a security error. It looks like this is the best way to do it on iOS.
