Currently the Font Awesome icons are being pulled from a remote CDN, not from a local cache like it should be. This is fine for things like websites that will likely have an internet connection, but a standalone desktop app should have that locally stored somewhere. Electron's security guidelines strongly advise against pulling from remote sources, and a standalone desktop app shouldn't be reliant on an internet connection to function properly.

I believe there's an NPM library for Font Awesome. If not, I'll need to find a way to pull the icons plus any fonts required.
