Description (last modified by dawuud)
Gridsync is a Qt shell for the Tahoe-LAFS install and run procedures. It's GUI wraps various Tahoe-LAFS CLI commands so that the user can click through an easy to use install wizard to configure their Tahoe-LAFS client... and then run it.

This ticket shall be resolved when gridsync utilizes the new magic-folder CLI commands such that the user of this dev branch of gridsync could easily click through a wizard that sets up their Tahoe-LAFS client + magic-folder.
Upon a reviewing the gridsync source code this task appears to be easy because fundamentally it's a shell that runs Tahoe CLI commands in it's own process; it happens to be a twisted app the uses the Qt Reactor.
The additional GUI features that gridsync may need to display realtime status updates will not be included in this ticket.
