Tanish Manku 81ee9a3533 ruler: solid-ink dimming, one frosted world, bbox-sized pools
Heading dimming stops being translucency: dimmed words (queue, pile,
riding) now render a solid ink-toward-paper color-mix at the same
visual level, so they mask the footage passing beneath instead of
letting it bleed through 35%-alpha gray.

The rail frost's inner edge goes back to a feather, but on a
smoothstep-like multi-stop curve so no seam reads while letters fly in
and out (the hard cutoff + hairline read as visually split). The
contrast pools become part of the same frosted world: backdrop blur at
the rail's level with a matching non-linear corner mask, and their
size derives from the stacks' worst-case bounding boxes (full pile +
current heading up top, full queue below, longest label wide) plus a
Pool pad knob — no more viewport-height guessing. The reduced-motion
queue pool gets the same frost. Tuned @ Mpx defaults to the reference
screen's real 1.65 CSS-megapixels.

Frontend

This is an nx monorepo that can contain multiple apps and shared libraries.

All commands to run these projects are performed from this directory (except the repo-root launcher scripts noted below).

Requirements

  • Node.js 20+ (Nx 21 / Vite 6 requirement). Install via nvm, nodejs.org, or brew install node.
  • npm (ships with Node).

We use npm, not pnpm. pnpm was briefly adopted ("add pnpm to solve build issues") and later removed ("fix(frontend): consume video-editor libs via nx path aliases, drop pnpm"). If you have leftovers from that era — a pnpm-lock.yaml, pnpm-workspace.yaml, or a node_modules/.pnpm directory — npm installs will fail (typically with ENOTEMPTY rename errors). See Troubleshooting below.

Install dependencies

npm install

Running the apps in dev mode

From the repository root, the launcher scripts (these preflight your environment, install dependencies, and free the dev port first):

./script/website/unix_frontend_dev.sh           # artcraft-website (marketing site), port 4200
./script/website/unix_frontend_webapp_dev.sh    # artcraft-webapp (user dashboard), port 4201
./script/artcraft/unix_frontend_dev.sh          # artcraft (Tauri app frontend), port 5173

Or directly from this directory:

nx dev artcraft-website
nx dev artcraft-webapp
nx dev artcraft        # NB: the Tauri app also needs the Rust dev server running
nx dev editor2d

Building

npx nx build artcraft-website
npx nx build artcraft-webapp
npx nx build artcraft
npx nx build editor2d

Netlify deploys run apps/<app>/script/netlify_build.sh (see each app's netlify.toml).

Troubleshooting

npm install fails with ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rename ...

Your node_modules tree is corrupted — usually an interrupted install, or a tree written by pnpm back when the repo briefly used it. Fix:

./clean_modules.sh
npm install

Or the manual minimum:

rm -rf node_modules .nx pnpm-lock.yaml pnpm-workspace.yaml
npm install

Stale build state after switching branches

Call this when starting on main or a new branch:

./clean_modules.sh

It removes all dist/ outputs, resets the nx cache, and removes node_modules.

Import aliases

The names for @frontend and @storyteller come from the package.json file in the libs folder:

import { Login } from "@frontend/login";
import { api } from "@storyteller/api";

For shared UI components, import from @storyteller/ui-[componentname]:

import { Button } from "@storyteller/ui-button";
import { Modal } from "@storyteller/ui-modal";

Generating a new component library

# 1. Generate the library
npx nx g @nx/react:library libs/components/toaster --import-path=@storyteller/ui-toaster --bundler=vite
npm install

# 2. Import it somewhere in code

# 3. Sync and build
nx sync
nx build
