| 5 | +## Download |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +You can download the application directly from GitHub. |
| 8 | +It is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. |
| 9 | +Get the latest release v1.0.0 right **[here](https://github.com/loehnertz/tanglesta.sh/releases/tag/v1.0.0)**. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Usage |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +After starting the application you might first want to setup your node provider. |
| 15 | +This is pre-set to `localhost` which means that you would need to run |
| 16 | +[IRI](https://github.com/iotaledger/iri) (the node software) on your own computer. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +A tutorial to setup a node can be found here: |
| 19 | +https://iota.readme.io/v1.2.0/docs/install-iri or http://iota.partners/ |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +At least for retrieving you could also use a node providing service for the public from here: https://iota.dance/nodes |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +After setting everything up you can either start retrieving a file that |
| 24 | +was persisted in the past using its 'entry-hash' or persist a new file onto the tangle! |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +Here's an entry-hash to test the application. It's the logo of the app so you need to save it as a `.png` file. It's not encrypted. |

| 32 | +## Features |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +- Works on Windows, macOS and Linux |
| 35 | +- Persist any data onto the tangle of IOTA |
| 36 | +- Retrieve data that was persisted with this module beforehand |
| 37 | +- Optionally encrypt your data with a password (via AES) |
| 38 | +- Store a string or even a whole file without any prior conversion |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## Disclaimer |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +I know that both the retrieving and persisting to and from the tangle |
| 44 | +are painfully slow compared to a traditional HTTP connection. |
| 45 | +Keep in mind though that this project is more of a proof-of-concept |
| 46 | +rather than a finished product. |
