Use an alternative package manager such as **bun** or **pnpm**. +## What to Focus On + +**🎯 Good Areas to Contribute:** +- Timeline functionality and UI improvements +- Project management features +- Performance optimizations +- Bug fixes in existing functionality +- UI/UX improvements +- Documentation and testing + +**⚠️ Areas to Avoid:** +- Preview panel enhancements (text fonts, stickers, effects) +- Export functionality improvements +- Preview rendering optimizations + +**Why?** We're currently planning a major refactor of the preview system. The current preview renders DOM elements (HTML), but we're moving to a binary rendering approach similar to CapCut. This new system will ensure consistency between preview and export, and provide much better performance and quality. + +The current HTML-based preview is essentially a prototype - the binary approach will be the "real deal." To avoid wasted effort, please focus on other areas of the application until this refactor is complete. + +If you're unsure whether your idea falls into the preview category, feel free to ask us [directly in discord](https://discord.gg/zmR9N35cjK) or create a GitHub issue! + ## Development Setup ### Prerequisites |
