Add loading Widget when an app is initially first loaded

I think it would be a huge win for UX if when a Glide app was initially opened it had a loading widget spinning as soon as the user clicked the button.

I have found that some of the initial load speeds of the apps I have created can be 5-6 seconds on mobile specifically, even on brand new apps with no heavy data on them. This leaves the user on a blank white screen while it’s loading.

I know that this has been an issue for multiple Glide builders and we all know a spinning circle can buy you 3 seconds of user patience.
