Create "State of the DApps" group and integrate JSON

[0xc1c4da]

State of the DApps will provide a curated list of Ropsten compatible DApps that will be a group within Status contact list named "State of the DApps".

This depends on EtherCasts/state-of-the-dapps#22

A JSON endpoint is now available http://dapps.ethercasts.com/api/dapps-by-tag/status-im. @jarradh Does it mean that we could start to work on this issue?

[0xc1c4da]

Yes :) 👍

A couple of questions @jarradh :

1. Do we want to load the apps list at run time or at compile time?
2. Do we want to display all the dapps or only the ones with the status-im tag (there are only 3 apps returned by http://dapps.ethercasts.com/api/dapps-by-tag/status-im)?
3. There is no photo-path in the data returned by state-of the-dapps`...

Typical dapp data returned by state-of the-dapps looks like this:

{
_id: "559511ad46b1fe01994ce505",
name: "EtherEx",
status: "7. Working Prototype",
platform: "Ethereum POC9",

row_nr: 66
}

For the moment, all the status-im dapps are already inside status. Therefore, as discussed with @jarradh , this feature will not add any new dapp. But the state-of-the-dapps will be in a separate group.

@jarradh something like that?

[0xc1c4da]

why is this issue still open if the PR was merged?

best to use "fixes #599" and github auto-links and auto-closes

[rasom]

@jarradh, was the idea of this task the loading of State of the DApps" list on every application start or it should be added statically to the application?

[0xc1c4da]

well I thought at compilation time would have been better..

[0xc1c4da]

to be frank this task has taken a lot more attention than i thought it would
