New App Icon? (lemm.ee)

wefwef is an awesome web app, but the (imo) relatively generic app icon doesn’t reach the same level of polish as the rest of the beautiful app. Any chance we get a more custom and unique icon?

This is the best you can do on iOS right now if you want to have a web app with a custom icon on your homescreen that doesn’t open safari if you tap on it: video.

It opens a little safari window which reloads from scratch every time you open it via the icon. Not ideal.

Adding it the normal way (which doesn’t let you customize the icon) makes it behave pretty much like a native app: full screen and keeps its state every time you tap on the icon.
