## Development

We are using Tauri to build a native app, but still with simple Web technology. You will need to setup the prerequesites using the instructions here https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites/

> Additionally, this presumes your environment has WebView2 (windows) or webkit2 (linux) already available. This is a requirement for end-users as well! Many modern OSes already ship with such a thing, but it's something we'll need to investigate.

- `npm install`
- `npm run tauri dev`

This builds the app with Tauri (this is a rust compilation, the first run will take a while) and the frontend is served via Vite -- a nice web server that will hot-reload any changes as you develop.
