Adaptation ideas

What to apply to your own product

  1. Idea: expose a signing workflow through a compact API quickstart.
  2. Idea: make the local-development requirements a preflight script.

Tradeoff to consider

A contribution-oriented onboarding path helps collaboration but is more involved than a hosted-only demo.

Starting route

Complete the listed local-development requirements and run the first local flow.
