..the common experience especially on iOS is that even when you background an installed app and then foreground it again it reloads the entire state. This effectively breaks the UX and makes this mode almost unusable. It's definitely possible to use localStorage, etc. to work around this but the UX is horrible. Allowing installed apps to persist their resources and loaded state across background/foreground (and ideally even launches) would be a massive step forward. Perhaps naming this a "First use page" would help clarify this focus?
