Good to know

Tauri desktop app: it also needs Tauri's system prerequisites (Xcode Command Line Tools on macOS, WebView2 and the C++ build tools on Windows, webkit2gtk on Linux). See https://tauri.app/start/prerequisites/
Dockerfile available (base image: node:24-alpine@sha256:8a32c8cf649a49915a66e81e7a609223c708d0adabf288ee3f4077d765542f85).
Makefile has a make install target — it may automate most of these steps.
Has AGENTS.md — instructions for coding agents. You can open Claude Code (or another agent) in the cloned folder and ask it to do the setup for you.
