UI Development Guide

This project uses vanilla TypeScript DOM manipulation — no framework. All UI lives in src/renderer/. Follow the patterns and reuse the components documented below.

Custom Dropdown / Select

Never use native <select>. Always use the custom select component:

import { createCustomSelect } from './components/custom-select';

const select = createCustomSelect('my-select', [
  { value: 'a', label: 'Option A' },
  { value: 'b', label: 'Option B' },
  { value: 'c', label: 'Disabled', disabled: true },
], 'a'); // default value

// select.getValue() — get current value
// select.destroy() — cleanup

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
