Change the `starturl` in `manifest.json` so that whenever the web app opens it opens in

#### Why would you like to do it?

Whenever I open the web app it ends in `index.html` which opens the last chat which marks unread messages as read and makes frustating when I want to read other messages and keep it as it is.

#### How would you like to achieve it?

By changing the `starturl` in `manifest.json` to `#/home` or `/#home`

### Have you considered any alternatives?

I manually edited the manifest but I was unable to save it as it is provided by the server.
