Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The software is taking a noticeable amount of time to start up, which is to be expected as it gets more complex.
Describe the solution you'd like
A simple splash screen that opens immediately and closes once the main window pops up would be a good idea, just so the user doesn't try to open the software multiple times.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Reworking the code to try to make the main window pop up as fast as possible, but I'm not sure it would be possible to get it popping up instantly. Worth exploring just for the sake of efficiency, but I don't think making the code more efficient actually solves this problem. It just lessens it.
Additional context
Most pieces of software have a simple image for a splash screen. That can certainly be done here, too.
