Hey I find this project interesting. I've got experience using React but not with React Native, although I don't think it'll be too hard to pick up. Would be interested in having a conversation.

New Feature: Drag & Drop PGP Verification before install.

This lets non-technical users download Branta & check that wallet software is authentic without opening the command-line or importing keys. This can prevent installing fake wallets, before the fact.
