[Feature request] What if a mistap means I need to cancel the app that's loading?

I didn't find this issue raised elsewhere on together.jolla.com but I have not been able to reliably make applications start in over a second, so please do not prioritise this except should others add elaborative commentary.

Some (bigger) apps may take time to load and sit in the thumbnailed app space with a circular animation. I have mixed feelings about the way remorse shows up some places, so I hesitate to ask if it would be useful in this situation but, rather than or in addition to a busy/wait animation, could a remorse widget display during app loads? This way accidental taps, which happen a lot (at least to me) could, in the context of remorse about accidentally opened programs, could be undone.

The remorse timer could be less relevant in this case, unless time-to-GUI is well-known for the opening app, so perhaps a less-animated, untimed remorse widget would work best, taking this suggestion forward.

Some (bigger) apps (like the browser after it has been at a site that crashed it) may take time to load (spend several seconds failing to start before crashing) and sit in the thumbnailed app space with a circular animation.

Some apps (like the browser after it has been at a site that crashed it) may take time to load (spend (or spend several seconds failing to start before crashing) crashing again - fixed by reboot - corrupt cache?) and sit in the thumbnailed app space with a circular animation. animation:
