It is provided in two forms:\n\n- A Chrome/Firefox browser extension\n- A desktop application, built with Electron\n\nBoth provide the same functionalities and use the same UI, feel free to choose the medium that suits you best.\n\nA _very alpha_ version of the browser extension can be found in the [Github Releases](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate-light-ui/releases) page.\n\nYou can also check out the `master` branch and [build from source](#build-from-sources).\n\n## Overview\n\nAs of v0.3.0, the main functions are as follows:\n\n- [x] Identity management - manage accounts and addresses, including ability to create, edit, restore, backup, and forget them.\n- [x] Transfer balance - send and receive funds in the currency of the relevant substrate chain.\n- [x] Embed a light client in a browser extension, and let Light UI be the user interface of this extension.\n\nAnd here is a rough roadmap of what's coming next (see the [`v0.4.0-MVP` milestone](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate-light-ui/milestone/3) for details):\n\n- [ ] Handle changing:\n  - [x] provider,\n  - [x] chain spec,\n  - [ ] user uploaded light client WASM blob or chain spec.\n- [ ] Provider injection inside dapps.\n- [ ] Improve overall beginner-friendliness (e.g. [#67](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate-light-ui/issues/67)).\n\n## Build from sources\n\n### Dependencies\n\nMake sure you have [yarn \u003e= 1.13.0](http://yarnpkg.com/) and [nodejs \u003e= 10.10.0](https://nodejs.org/en/). Then run\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/paritytech/substrate-light-ui\ncd ./substrate-light-ui\nyarn install\n```\n\n### Run the Browser Extension\n\n```bash\nyarn build:extension\n```\n\nThen install the extension:\n\n- Chrome:\n  - go to `chrome://extensions/`\n  - ensure you have the Development flag set\n  - \"Load unpacked\" and point to `packages/extension-app/build`\n  - if developing, after making changes - refresh the extension\n- Firefox:\n  - go to `about:debugging#addons`\n  - check \"Enable add-on debugging\"\n  - click on \"Load Temporary Add-on\" and point to `packages/extension-app/build/manifest.json`\n  - if developing, after making changes - reload the extension\n\n### Run the Electron App\n\nFor now, you need to bundle a Substrate node manually into the Electron app. To do so, first build a Substrate node for your platform (note: it can of course be a Polkadot/Kusama node, or any other Substrate node), and copy it as `./packages/electron-app/static/substrate`:\n\n```bash\ncp /path/to/polkadot ./packages/electron-app/static/substrate\n```\n\nThen run:\n\n```bash\nyarn build:electron\n```\n\nThe building might take some time, but you should see an Electron application after a while.\n\n\u003e Troubleshooting: If it hangs on a white screen in Electron even though it has compiled and has been syncing for a long time, then simply choose 'View \u003e Reload' (CMD + R on macOS) from the Electron menu.\n\n## Contributing\n\nWe welcome any and all contributions whether it is in the form of raising an issue, filing a PR, or participating in the discussions. Please read the [Contributing Docs](CONTRIBUTING.md) first.\n\n### Run with Hot-Reloading\n\nIf you would like to run this project with hot-reloading, use the following commands:\n\n- `yarn start:ui`: If you would only like to modify the UI, run this command and visit http://localhost:3000\n- `yarn start:electron`: Run the Electron app with hot reloading\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fparitytech%2Fsubstrate-light-ui","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fparitytech%2Fsubstrate-light-ui","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fparitytech%2Fsubstrate-light-ui/lists"}
