eDEX-UI v1.1.0

(note: assets in this release have been updated to include the v1.1.1 hotfix.)

Day+5 update

🎉 eDEX now has tabs!

It's been 5 days since 1.0 and traffic to this repository is starting to slow down (thankfully). Since 1.0:

• eDEX was downloaded 9 875 times, all OSs included
• the geoip api that powers eDEX's globe sent out 77.29 GB of JSON data
• 51 issues and 7 pull requests were closed
• 2 issues where found & reported upstream in the libraries used by eDEX
• We went "top trending" on GitHub, Hacker News, r/unixporn

Overall this was a massive success for a small side-project. Thank you all again for the feedback and reports! ❤️

(Note: I've been asked multiple times if i would write about how this project came together, if you're interested, see #272)
