I am hosting a small non profit community board on digitalocean but planning to migrate to discourse standard hosting due to your cool new ios app.

I really want to make the user experience as seemless as having a mobile bookmark as app icon which we have now. So I would like to setup a new mobile app on appstore, bake in the url, name and icon for my community and first screen that comes up would be my community, not list of discourse installs.

Site owners could open apple developer accounts and follow up all the steps for store application registration, certification, upgrades etc so discourse team wouldn’t have to maintain hundreds of apps..
