Warning

This app is actively in development, it doesn't have most of its critical features implemented yet.

Features

Cross Platform: Can run on multiple platforms. Built with web technologies and bun backend.
Romm Support: Has integration with romm.
Lightweight: It uses the existing system browser to launch the front end, so no need to include a whole web browser.
- On Windows it first uses webview2 then your browser
- On linux it uses WebKitGTK or a browser even from flatpak
- Not tested on Mac yet
Steam Deck Support: Extensively tested with the steam deck. It can use flatpak installed browsers.
Great for Controllers: The UI is inspired by the switch and works great with joysticks and dpads.

# Use 'bun run dev:hmr' for hot reload
bun run dev

```
bun run package:auto-prod
