📄 Description

Using a helper shortcut (to generate web clips) as well as a url scheme, it is made possible to add apps to home screen.

Next launched app is configured using livecontainer://launchapp?exec=[app name percent encoded].app, then the app can be launched normally.

The helper shortcut (integrated into the app in the settings tab) automates the launching of the app, and the adding of the app to the homescreen (located here: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/f777072dfe4d48ada1004c496f76154f)

Solves #61
