## Roadmap
- It's possible to use Wekan with Friend. At 2019-06-30 Wekan also works at [Raspberry Pi](Raspberry-Pi) like Friend already works, it makes possible local RasPi-only network.
- Then on local network you can use RasPi Cromium or Friend mobile/tablet Android/iOS app to connect to local network Friend desktop, also possible without connection to Internet.
- If using RasPi4 with 4 GB RAM or more, it's possible to run Wekan+Friend+Desktop etc on same RasPi4, servers+client webbrowser.
- Alternative to RasPi is Orange Pi 5 that can have 16 GB RAM http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/details/Orange-Pi-5-plus.html

# Adding app icons to Friend desktop menus
@CraigL: I found that when I added my web apps to the Dock (by dragging the .jsx file onto it) The app list (on the left side) in the Dock editor showed the full path of the application even after adding a "Display Name" field entry. What I did was to use the Display Name entry for the App list (if available). What I ended up with was:
Orig:
App List => /Home/apps/Youtube/YouTube.jsx
New:
App List => YouTube
[My change is here](https://github.com/344Clinton/friendup/commit/6943cc3c05d74adc147950fb2a272d025b50e680). The fix was simple enough. Tracking it down took me a long time :grinning:
