Future updates: Rather than downloading all over again, let it be a click of a button directly from wallet #373

Good evening, good progress on the latest update especially the @username addition, I was wondering if it would be possible to make future update a click of the bottom directly from the wallet rather than downloading the file all over again. This would work great. Just a suggestion

I think most apps download the installer all over again because it is more difficult to create/update/delete only those files that changed between different versions. GIT or NPM is good for installing/updating on linux, but it can't do some things that Windows installers do. Some apps make the updating more streamlined by including the downloader in the app, so users don't have to go to some website, some even include the installer/updater also in the app, so it makes it look like app updates itself.

All these different updating methods are very platform specific and add complexity, so it makes more sense to focus on other features instead of developing built-in installer/updated.

I think that's why Byteball is using standard installer for installing/updating and that's why you need to manually do it every time.
