Talking of deep linking, that is what we are trying to tackle next.
We've stopped all of the different entry points, (as it all goes through the
NavigationFramework with the auth checking).

But what we want to do is:

   - User gets a deeplink URL in their email to a specific page (with some
   query params in the query string)
   - The navigation framework jumps up and says "whoa you aren't
   authorised", and redirects to the login screen
   - After logging in, they are redirected to the original page they were
   trying to access from the email link

At the moment we've got the pages secured and the user redirected to the
login screen. We just need to figure out how to send them on to the page
they originally requested
