Local Development

Use Node 24 for development and packaging. With NVM, run nvm install && nvm use from the repository root. Node 26 hangs while the current packaging dependencies extract Electron, leaving Forge at "Copying files".

Ensure asdf is installed, then execute make run to bootstrap your environment and run the app with debugging.

PRs are welcome and encouraged! Fork this repo, checkout a new branch, then open a PR with your changes from your fork into this one. However, please do not distribute your own fork of this app.
