Getting started

Each app under apps/ is an independent Vite + React + TypeScript project with its own package.json - run them individually:

cd apps/site           # or apps/photo-editor, apps/video-editor
npm install
npm run dev

The site expects the tool apps to be pre-built into apps/site/public/editor and apps/site/public/video-editor so it can serve them locally at the /editor and /video-editor routes, exactly as they're embedded in production.

Building

Build an individual app the normal way:

cd apps/photo-editor
npm install && npm run build   # outputs to apps/photo-editor/dist

To build both tools and embed them into the site (what production actually serves):

./scripts/build-tools.sh
cd apps/site && npm install && npm run build
