Loading spinners on the list view to at least say "discovering now..."
Stack overflow also showed me ways to load from URL straight into the image view without saving to file... but I'm not a fan.
If we can, download new images and save them to device ahead of time to avoid loading times once in the discovery view.
Do it at the same time the server tells us we discovered something?
Another potential speedup is take smaller pictures?
Alternatively, use loading spinners whenever something is happening that the user will be actively waiting on (confirmations, viewing images).
