Faast

Faast is a React-based web application that combines cryptocurrency portfolio management and exchange functions. Its client-side wallet code loads balances and creates or signs transactions in the browser; the README states that private keys remain there and are used to sign transactions. The repository contains both a static website and a single-page application.
