Vue refactor and upgrade bridge-gui to use storj.js #147

Updating storj in bridge-gui

A refactor of bridge-gui has been a long time coming. Currently bridge-gui uses an old implementation of storj core (2.0.0 to be exact) that was modified to be used in the browser. We've been getting by with using storj@2.0.0 for some time, but have now started to get into some build issues with it, as its internal dependencies have upgraded. Hacking our builds to get bridge-gui to run with the older storj is less than ideal. With the publication of storj.js, we can now easily use the Storj protocol in the browser without having to finagle with it.

Using Vue

Vue is easy to pick up, lightweight, and has a great ecosystem. We also use Vue in our storjshare-gui project.

The new version is nearing completion and should be pushed onto production shortly. Once up, relevant issues will be moved over to the new repo.
