Handle tablet and phone layouts

[mlynch]

I don't think responsive is the answer for native apps.

One thing we could do is go the modernizer route where we apply various classes to the body and then toggle certain responsive elements then.

I think a simple thing to toggle would be a split pane control with a side menu and core content. But it's unclear how to handle that in every case and it's kind of restrictive.

Perhaps the side menu in the split pane control could optionally turn into a 'slide' menu on a phone-size screen? Might be difficult to implement though. This functionality could be achieved outside the framework by having a $rootScope 'device' variable and using ng-if to toggle a split-pane / single-pane layout (if $rootScope.device == 'tablet' or $rootScope.device == 'phone')

Just a (probably poorly thought out) idea

@erindru I like this idea really much.

Good idea! I've started with my WIP PR here: #918. Closing as a dupe of #50
