if you implement the /about route (basically any additional route) and visit localhost:8080/about directly, you'll notice the 'home' in the navbar is 'active'.
if you use ui-sref-active and ui-sref for laying the links on the navbar, the ui-router automatically takes care of the state sync. I have a working version with added /about route, let me know if you'd like a pull request
