   Tried Kitten today by @aral
   https://codeberg.org/kitten/app
   Really interesting small web app, instructions were clear, the only trick was figuring out how to use WSL2 before it would work - video of me 'following instructions' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8rbO7BuKPo (very boring unless you're really really interested in how I approach things like this)

     @Downes Thank you SO MUCH for recording that video. I’m watching it now and it’s invaluable to see someone going through the process. Will no doubt help me improve it. Really appreciate it :)

     @Downes Stephen, just finished watching. It’s been so useful. I’m so sorry you had such trouble at the start. I’ve already noted a number of changes I’m going to make to the documentation and elsewhere tomorrow to hopefully ensure it’s easier to get started with.

     I’m also looking into supporting Windows natively in the future so you don’t have to mess with WSL at all.

     Thank you again for taking the time to play with it and for being so patient and kind.

     Lots of love from the Emerald Isle 💕

     @Downes Hey Stephen, a quick update. Based on your video, I:

     1. Reorganised the readme so it hopefully leads readers directly into the getting started flow so they don’t get lost in the examples source code. I also tried to make the WSL 2 requirement clearer and added a note about certificates (https://codeberg.org/kitten/app/issues/68)

     2. Updated the install script so that you don’t need to have Node.js installed when you cloning the repository and run `./install`.

     Thank you for helping make Kitten better :)
