[FEATURE] Explore possibilities of a splash screen to fix auto sign-in flash

[lukethompsxn]

Description Issue #109 allows to user to automatically be signed in if they have their log-in credentials saved. The implementation of this functionality has resulted in a "flash" of the login screen before the system signs the user in and re-directs to the home screen. Ideally, we would have a seamless startup. If we were to have a splash screen which was displayed (as with many other applications) while the system was initializing and determining whether it can auto log-in, then it would solve this problem.

Acceptance criteria Upon startup, the splash screen is displayed.

• If the user has not enabled "remember login" then it will direct to the sign in screen
• Otherwise, it will direct to the home screen

Pointers / Solutions I expect there will be some support for this as part of the framework so it would probably be best to investigate this before trying to implement it fully from scratch.
