Store the users preference for window size if they change it.
Reuse the active Web UI window if a new menu item is chosen.

Electron: version 3.0.0 just got out of Beta!
Building: we’re replaceing Electron Forge by Electron Builder, which is more widely used so we can conclude it is more tested and more reliable. It is also easier to use and less buggy so far.
React as our UI framework.

Updated this to 0.6 release. It sends a confusing signal to users if we say Desktop is 1.0 if it’s using a sub 1.0 ipfs implementation.

@hacdias I’d say it is not ready yet (https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop/issues/618#issuecomment-431148895): mounting MFS has a lot of hidden complexity and could be a significant time sink that delays initial release of revamped ipfs-desktop. There is no reason to rush it. We need to design the experience first, research how it could work on various operating systems etc.
