Web app should have a link to download the desktop app #165

Open haadcode opened 7 years ago

haadcode commented 7 years ago

In the web app, there should be a visible link to download the desktop app.

This could be a banner at the top of the screen and if so, the user should be able to dismiss (hide) the banner.

When clicked, a link to the distributions web site will be opened in a new tab.

@haadcode @qservando i am unable to find the link to desktop app , as far i can see we have to generate a binary . What link should i redirect the user to ?

qservando commented 6 years ago

@vaibhavchellani when I was looking into it I was using the documentation here https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-electron. Has a nice walk through of how to set it up locally. I believe it is running on Linux and OS X currently.

As we don't have the binary distribution packages yet, I would say we should point to the Electron version Github @vaibhavchellani. What do you think?

vaibhavchellani commented 6 years ago

@haadcode we can do that , is anyone working on creating the binary distribution packages?
