Research direction

Start with docs/PopBook-Beginners-Guide.pdf and follow it step by step on macOS or Linux: install dependencies, run POPBOOK_MOCK=1 npm start (no AI key needed), drop a sample PDF, build, open the book and export the HTML. Note every command that fails, screenshot that differs, or WebGL problem, then post the findings with OS, Node version and browser. Done means a written report of mismatches posted in Discussions or on this issue.

Description

documentation help wanted
What problem would this solve?

CI runs the unit tests on Linux and Windows, but nobody has done a full walkthrough on macOS or on a Linux desktop yet: install, npm start, drop a PDF, build, open the book, export the HTML.

What would you like to happen?

Follow the beginner's guide (docs/PopBook-Beginners-Guide.pdf) on your machine and tell us where it didn't match reality: commands that failed, screenshots that look different, WebGL problems, anything confusing. Post the result in Discussions (Q&A) or comment here with your OS, Node version and browser. A short POPBOOK_MOCK=1 npm start run is enough, no AI key needed.
