superfreight's Issues

Create logo and add favicon

Wrap it in an executable

Wrapping SuperFreight into an executable with EncloseJS or Electron could make it much more usable for non-geek users.

How about adding a QR-Code button.

Mobile user may simply scan it to access the address.
Although a chrome extension can do the same, but i believe a build in QR-Code will be much more efficient.
