-
-## Why?
-
-- **Privacy**: Your videos stay on your device
-- **Free features**: Most basic CapCut features are now paywalled
-- **Simple**: People want editors that are easy to use - CapCut proved that
-
-## Project Structure
-
-- `apps/web/`: Next.js web application
-- `apps/desktop/`: Native desktop app built with GPUI (in progress)
-- `rust/`: Platform-agnostic core: GPU compositor, effects, masks, and WASM bindings. We're actively migrating business logic here from TypeScript.
-- `docs/`: Architecture and subsystem documentation
-
-## Getting Started
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-- [Bun](https://bun.sh/docs/installation)
-- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
-
-> **Note:** Docker is optional but recommended for running the local database and Redis. If you only want to work on frontend features, you can skip it.
-
-### Setup
-
-1. Fork and clone the repository
-
-2. Copy the environment file:
-
- ```bash
- # Unix/Linux/Mac
- cp apps/web/.env.example apps/web/.env.local
-
- # Windows PowerShell
- Copy-Item apps/web/.env.example apps/web/.env.local
- ```
-
-3. Start the database and Redis:
-
- ```bash
- docker compose up -d db redis serverless-redis-http
- ```
-
-4. Install dependencies and start the dev server:
-
- ```bash
- bun install
- bun dev:web
- ```
-
-The application will be available at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
-
-The `.env.example` has sensible defaults that match the Docker Compose config — it should work out of the box.
-
-### Desktop setup
-
-Desktop is opt-in. If you're only working on the web app, skip this entirely.
-
-If you want to get ready for `apps/desktop`, see [`apps/desktop/README.md`](apps/desktop/README.md). It's a two-step setup: Rust toolchain first, then desktop native dependencies.
-
-### Local WASM development
-
-Only needed if you're editing `rust/wasm` and want the web app to use your local build instead of the published package.
-
-**Prerequisites** — install these once before anything else:
-
-```bash
-# Rust toolchain
-curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
-
-# build the WASM package
-cargo install wasm-pack
-
-# reruns the build on file changes, used by bun dev:wasm
-cargo install cargo-watch
-```
-
-1. Build the package once from the repo root:
-
- ```bash
- bun run build:wasm
- ```
-
-2. Register the generated package for linking:
-
- ```bash
- cd rust/wasm/pkg
- bun link
- ```
-
-3. Link `apps/web` to the local package:
-
- ```bash
- cd apps/web
- bun link opencut-wasm
- ```
-
-4. Rebuild on changes while you work:
-
- ```bash
- bun dev:wasm
- ```
-
-To switch `apps/web` back to the published package, run:
-
-```bash
-cd apps/web
-bun add opencut-wasm
-```
-
-### Self-Hosting with Docker
-
-To run everything (including a production build of the app) in Docker:
-
-```bash
-docker compose up -d
-```
-
-The app will be available at [http://localhost:3100](http://localhost:3100).

-## Contributing
-
-We welcome contributions! While we're actively developing and refactoring certain areas, there are plenty of opportunities to contribute effectively.
-
-**🎯 Focus areas:** Timeline functionality, project management, performance, bug fixes, and UI improvements outside the preview panel.
-
-**⚠️ Avoid for now:** Preview panel enhancements (fonts, stickers, effects) and export functionality - we're refactoring these with a new binary rendering approach.
-
-See our [Contributing Guide](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) for detailed setup instructions, development guidelines, and complete focus area guidance.
-
-**Quick start for contributors:**
-
-- Fork the repo and clone locally
-- Follow the setup instructions in CONTRIBUTING.md
-- Working on `apps/desktop`? See [`apps/desktop/README.md`](apps/desktop/README.md) for setup
-- Create a feature branch and submit a PR
