[tor-project] OnionShare Desktop S96, October progress report

[Micah Lee <micah@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the October progress report from the OnionShare Desktop team for the S96 project.

We moved the OnionShare Desktop repository from my personal Github account to a new OnionShare GitHub organization, and created new repositories for the mobile app. The desktop team have been working in a separate "censorship" branch, and making pull requests into that branch for the work so far.

In October we:

• Began work on the quickstart screen that is going to detect censorship and automatically circumvent it
• Compiled meek-client into the package
• Wrote code to use meek for domain-fronting requests to Moat, and also for the new Censorship API
• Added Snowflake support
• Added Moat support, so users can anonymously request bridges from BridgeDB
  
• Split the Settings window into two separate windows, Settings and Tor Settings, and completely refactored the Tor Settings to look better and save settings in a smarter way
  
• Based on UX feedback, turned the Settings and Tor Settings windows into tabs, instead of windows

Here's a video that shows off a lot of the new stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djaKOpmj3kM
