Bad Documentation

[dave7m]

There are currently over 700 open issues and many PRs. It is super hard, if not impossible to contribute, because the documentation is so sparse. Especially, it lacks a clear tutorial on how to get to run the interface locally (i.e., the web app).
The environment variables that are to be set (in a .env.defaults file) are not explained anywhere, the __generated__ file is missing completely.
I was able to get the latest version to run by:

• hydrate the env variables in a .env.defaults file (I just gave some dummy variables, especcialy for STATSIG_API_KEY.
• manually add a __generated__ folder.
• In SelectTokenStep, change the faulty import import { DeprecatedButton } from 'ui'.

I am really wondering how the current devs are even developing? Can someone produce a step-by-step tutorial from cloning the repo to connecting to the wallet in the locally running interface web app?

We hear you, our current set up is that we work in a private repo that gets mirrored to this public one when we create a release. We'll work on making this more clear, and make sure that people can at the very least get the project running without jumping through too many hoops. Thanks for the feedback

I haven't been able to run the app here since all the API calls fail with CORS errors running on localhost. I can't find documentation on how to run these APIs so I can't do local development.
