Your app should work without me running a node at localhost:8545, no?

HI Andreas,

Origin is a DAPP and therefore you need to have metamask installed running and connected to a tobalaba node. That is why it tries to connect to localhost:8545. This issue also doesn't concern the ew-link-origin app since this is a hardware project to integrate energy assets into the origin smart-contracts, to point issues in the DAPP please address ew-origin repository.

Thanks @cerealkill

Good to know.

But to hand out that explanation only to people who dig so deep that they actually open a github repo issue ... is suboptimal.

Solution:

Show "you need to have metamask installed" when someone like me arrives at
