launch in full screen on mobile devices #181

A couple ideas:

  1. (this issue) Users with mobile devices should be able to "install" the site as a home screen app which starts in full screen mode. The following code will help with that:

    <meta name="mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
    <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />

    Perhaps @reekypete wants to work on the above?

  2. (perhaps another issue) We might try to detect if a user is on mobile and returning for a second or third time, and on those time(s) we might prompt them to save the site to their home screen (but not many times after, since we don't want to annoy them). Perhaps @pixelhappy1 could help figure out what that'd look like, if she is so inclined.

See also: progressive web apps / #pwadevsummit on twitter / installable web apps / web app manifest files.

Though a problem is we have links to other sites and the installed web apps open those without the nav bar so the user has no way back from external sites.
