This is really sweet @dignifiedquire! it will help not only the electron app, but also bringing this front end dev best practices to other projects like the WebUI and StarLog

Made some progress today and there is now a pretty start screen, with custom fonts and icons:

@dignifiedquire looking good! solid progress.

Though, let's please sketch all the screens out first? we want to provide a cohesive look, and one that addresses some plans for this app that are probably not really documented anywhere yet (we've discussed them on irc and other channels, but not really listed). I can spend some time working with you on this. btw, take a look at these, too: #3 (comment) -- not set on this one either, but it's a different roll that incorporates useful information shown even when offline.

@dignifiedquire when do you have 30min next to discuss some plans? (or maybe i can post thoughts in form of sketches here in this repo)

I got the packaging to work, but running the packaged app fails because of jbenet/node-subcomandante#1

Merged into master
