• drop and upload a file to IPFS
• drop a collection of files (needs multipart to be fixed on node-ipfs-api -> multipart dir now takes a stream of vinyl files ipfs-inactive/js-ipfs-http-client#35)
• make a nice UI for file upload

can we not use https://github.com/feross/drag-drop for this?

[daviddias]

@whyrusleeping not quite. We want to be able to drop to the tray icon, which isn't an html element.

It's working though, electron has some nice features that enable it (check drag-drop branch). Just missing a nice UI with bars and stuff spinning while it uploads (+ unicorns) and also a 'multi files' upload at the same time.
