Set "My Profile" page as landing page for PWA

Hi!
First I would like to thank you for enabling PWA features. I've always had a bookmark on my smartphone home screen, but now I can install Exophase as an app 😃

However, it opens up the home page, but what (I think) most users want is to see their profile. Is it possible to show the profile page when Exophase is launched as a PWA?
I know that there's a "start_url" property in the PWA manifest: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest/start_url
Could a URL like "https://www.exophase.com/profile/" redirected to the profile of the logged-in user? So then it could be set as a start_url?

I have implemented this now, it will redirect to your profile home page after launching the app (or login page if not logged in yet). Thanks for the suggestion!

Might need to reinstall the app also if it isn't showing the new behavior yet, as I think the start_url parameter might be cached.

Glorious! Thank you!
Yes, I had to reinstall the app for it to work. I think websites like Exophase are perfect candidates for PWA, no need for an native app.
Install popup looks fancy too 😎
