Bitshares Astro UI Dev update - Swaps and Nodes!

Swaps and Nodes!

I've got a brief update regarding the Bitshares Astro UI if you've got a couple minutes to spare?

Version 0.1.8 is now out! https://github.com/BTS-CM/astro-ui/releases

Swaps!

So I was asked to try and simplify the liquidity pool UX, reducing unnecessary information and making it more in line with asset swap websites..

So I've quickly thrown together a simple asset swapping UX this weekend!

So let's see what the existing liquidity pool UX looks like...

Admittedly, now the new asset swap page is complete, this is a lot to look at..

Alright, let's check out the asset swap page now!

So as you can see, there's a lot less information being conveyed here, we're hiding our account, hiding text behind tooltips and only asking the user to select which assets they want to swap, then displaying the matching liquidity pools alongside their relevant asset swap info.

I'm glad this is complete, I feel that it's much more simple to understand. What do you think?

OK let's do a quick demo to get the full picture!

Nodes!

So this is a feature that exists in some of the other electron apps I've developed in the past - user configurable blockchain node connections!

And let's do a quick demo since it's pretty self explanatory!

Big shout out to everyone voting in support of the Bitshares Astro UI worker proposal!
