Description

Bug or Feature?

Feature

Current Situation

Can only run the app in dev mode

Intended Change

A build process needs to be created for deploying the app as a dist version and that may be installed by npm i npm-ui -g and can then be opened from any directory (e.g. using npx npm-ui)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research Electron packaging tools like electron builder or electron forge. Look at the existing dev setup (package.json scripts). Create a build script that produces a distributable version. Ensure the app can be installed globally via npm and opened from any directory using npx. Update package.json with bin entry and build configuration.
