Closes #61.

com.bloom.app claims a domain the project does not own, and it reads as a placeholder that never got replaced.

rs.bloomview is the reverse-DNS form of the site. io.github.nnmarcoo.bloom would work too if you would rather key it to the repo than the domain. Easy to swap, so say which you prefer.

Worth landing before the first public release rather than after. macOS keys Launch Services state, document type associations and saved preferences off the bundle id. Change it once people have the app installed and their existing copy and the updated one are two different apps as far as the system is concerned.

Only the macOS packaging step changes. Nothing else reads the identifier.

macOS keys Launch Services state, document associations and saved
preferences off the bundle id, so this has to change before the first
public release. Afterwards an existing install and an updated one would
be treated as two separate apps.
