Building

Install Rust v1.85.0 or above.

Then, run cargo run in the terminal.

Web

Install Trunk v0.21.7 or above, as well as Python 3.13.6 or above.

Then, run the web_build.py script to build the dist folder with the necessary files for web distribution.

Notable argument(s):

• --serve - Immediately run localhost:8000 after build.
• --release - Builds for release. Requires changing base url to test locally.

Mobile

As of 26/05/25, mobile is not actively developed and does not have a direct build process.

However, it can be easily done with the web version in a simple WebView wrapper (eg Capacitor).

Check out the example repo.

The web build script provides a --mobile flag for a typical mobile dist config.

Native Desktop Release

Check out the release folder for building native releases.

Documentation

Run cargo doc --no-deps --open

This will open a local docs.rs page.

Editor documentation is still sparse. Please check out

• User documentation - Using the editor & runtimes as end-user
• Dev documentation - Runtime development (from scratch & integrating)
