+- bug (that is hard to reproduce) - got blank screen and errors on iPhone with no bottom tabs

 - refactor - supply the projectId to the OfferDialog just like we do with the GiftedDialog offerId (in the "open" method, maybe as well as an attribute)
 - the confirm button on each give on the ProjectViewView page doesn't have all the context of the ClaimView page, so it can show sometimes inappropriately; consider consolidation
