move to react

[buildog]

The idea is to extract the renderer of https://github.com/livepeer/LivepeerDesktop (after Emitter stuff will be ready)

So we will have something like:
livepeer-emitter (shared lib/api)
livepeer-gateway (renderer)
livepeer-desktop (electron) + (renderer, aka gateway) + (emitter)

sound good @ericxtang @dob ?

cf. livepeer/go-livepeer#94

Yes this sounds good to me. The gateway might have some small differences in experience from the desktop app, since it's the opportunity to reach 1000's of people who don't yet have Livepeer installed. So it could include some educational text and calls to action to download and run Livepeer, or at least learn more about it. Also, keep in mind that we may have some more branding/identity/logo guidelines shortly. So it might be worth focusing more on the functionality than the design right at this moment.

@buildog we are working on some interface updates on the Livepeer node, so the interface may undergo some changes. Want to make sure this doesn't affect your development too much. I think I'll have a PR and update the doc in the next 2-3 weeks. My goal is to have a readthedocs site that documents the endpoints to the node, similar to the raiden docs.

Want to make sure I understand the benefit of extracting these 3 modules. Are we basically importing the emitter into livepeer-desktop after this? And this means other Node.js apps can import the emitter or the renderer to interact with Livepeer?

awesome for the doc @ericxtang!

and yes, it's exactly what it is about, it's split concerns so projets have re-usable and stable components.
