Yeah, this repo (electron-app) makes a tray-hosted service. try it out! |

Hello! I have created insttaller for windows: https://github.com/bogdoslav/ipfs-windows-installer |

as a followup to #16, we can use https://github.com/atom/grunt-electron-installer to build a windows installer for us, it looks pretty nice and should help a lot with getting people to have ipfs installed.
