This is the initial Aplha release of the Heat Client Framework also known as
the heat-ui project.

Heat-ui already is a robust and extensible framework for building multi device,
cross OS crypto currency clients.

Out of the box heat-ui runs in your browser on your PC and on your mobile
devices through its use of responsive designed ui controls.

Heat-ui also comes as a Windows installable application, as a MacOS
application (although currently in experimental phase) and as a Linux desktop
application.

Pending target devices are Android and IPhone. All distributions for all
platforms use the same code base.

This Alpha release also is available online at https://alpha.heatledger.com as
a fully functional browser based version.

The goal of this Alpha release is to showcase and test the extensive framework
built by Heat Ledger Ltd.

This alpha version connects to Heat Test Net, we invite anyone to play around
and try it out. When creating a new account new users get 1.000 TEST HEAT for
free.

Functionality in this version consists of blockchain based instant messaging,
sending and receiving Test HEAT and a simple block explorer.

 hell yeah lets start!

Hmm... Elementary OS, ubuntu 16.04 based is working fine loading ./heat
And I didn't install any dependencies.

Thanks!! 

Very nice.  I like the style (and the animations are just plain cool!).  As always, impressed with the tech!

Two concerns (bugs?) for the Mac UI client:
1) Copy and paste does not work to enter pass phrase (CTRL-V, nor right click)
2) Application icon is FIMK coin symbol.

I'm not sure I understand the tri-architecture.  I installed and ran heat-server on a VPS, though it all looks like brand new middleware and quite a bit different to my expectations.  Is heat-ledger (not available on Github, BTW) the replacement equivalent for what I used to know as 'fim-server'?

Can you elaborate a little more on new architecture, and comment on source availability for heat-ledger portion of the stack?

Thanks!

very nice, good work

I like it, nice layout

While windows and linux apps are pretty sound (since we have linux and windows machines to test that on) the macos version is still awaiting me getting a mac. Without an actual mac making these installers is almost impossible, I did the best I can however while not even having a mac.

The tri-architecture is different from our predecessor(s) (Btc, Eth, Nxt etc) where those others try (and fail) to solve all needs with one product.
Their architecture is P2P == DATABASE INDEX == SEARCH == API etc.. With Heat there is the ledger which does the p2p part.

But to serve the daily data to all the 500.000+ daily users  all using the heat-ui client for their messaging and trading, you cannot do that from an API that runs inside a crypto client. For that you need a proper scaling server solution that can be scaled up or down as needed, basically how every big data provider does that (facebook, whatsapp, slack etc).

That server solution is what we call the heat-server and the one we are making (on Play! Framework) can be considered the reference implementation and will be the one that powers our API servers.

Source code for heat-ledger is not available yet. Still working on that.

End users will want to run an instance of heat-ledger on their servers, they'll be rewarded for doing so and helping the network out. Deep API data and real-time websocket connectors will be provided by our cloud hosted version of heat-server (load balanced cluster architecture), when automating your business on Heat you'll connect to those servers on the heatledger.com domain.

Since everything is open source, if you want to you can run the full stack yourself but this is not required.

Both web and windows wallets are running super smooth for me. A++

Had to log out and back in before my balance updated when receiving coins. Would be nice if this auto updated.

That's a basic feature of course in proper release. Currently the balance should auto update on new blocks (average 25 secs).

Balances are supposed to update in real-time over the websocket listeners (https://github.com/Heat-Ledger-Ltd/heat-ui/blob/master/app/src/components/user-balance.ts#L70).
Could've been a timeout (bug) or that the network simply did not see it yet.
I'll keep an eye on it.

Here is an interesting continuation...
The Dickenson message is the last message I sent to myself. Notice it does not show up in the home screen but a new message id is created on the sidebar where the message is visible.

I initially thought it was due to the character size; however the domain vs sub-domain piece has more characters in the message.

Sidenote: Customizable Transaction Labels for the sidebar would be extremely sexy

Ok thanks i see.
Home screen does not display transactions send to self.
Thats an API issue in heat-server, we'll look into that later on.
What do you mean by 'Customizable Transaction Labels for the sidebar', which label would that be?
Internationalization support is planned and will contain all things like side labels but in different languages.
