what is the difference between having a separate "creator" app and having that 
UI in the Launch area?

* with delayed loading, it won't add weight.
* keeping it in the launcher means one less window for the user to manage
* it will force us to keep it simple and streamlined so it fits in
* it keeps all "starting things" in one place (rather than launch an app to 
start an app)

Launch should be that browser and avoid tags here. all i every find the need 
for is a quick search and ways to "favourite" apps; we have both already.

but pulling down the Launch area to open a browser that launches apps is 
really .. awkward.
