🔧 Development Guidelines

Code Style

• TypeScript strict mode enabled
• Functional components with hooks
• Tailwind CSS for styling (no custom CSS)
• Mobile-first responsive design
• Accessibility-first approach

Component Pattern

import { cn } from "@/lib/utils";

interface Props {
  title: string;
  className?: string;
}

export function Component({ title, className }: Props) {
  return (
    <div className={cn("base-styles", className)}>
      {title}
    </div>
  );
}

Adding New Apps

1. Create a JSON file in public/json/ following the schema in src/lib/types.ts
2. Add app icon to public/icons/ (PNG or SVG, 512x512 recommended)
3. Run npm run validate-apps to check schema compliance
4. Submit a pull request with your changes
