+## ๐ Getting Started
+
+### Desktop
+
+To run on desktop platforms:
```bash
-$ ./target/release/notedeck
+# Development build
+cargo run -- --debug
+
+# Release build
+cargo run --release
```
-# Developer Setup
+### Android
-## Desktop (Linux/MacOS, Windows?)
-
-If you're running debian-based machine like Ubuntu or ElementaryOS, all you need is to install [rustup] and run `sudo apt install build-essential`.
+For Android devices:
```bash
-$ cargo run --release
-```
+# Install required target
+rustup target add aarch64-linux-android
-## Android
-
-The dev shell should also have all of the android-sdk dependencies needed for development, but you still need the `aarch64-linux-android` rustup target installed:
-
-```
-$ rustup target add aarch64-linux-android
-```
-
-To run on a real device, just type:
-
-```bash
-$ cargo apk run --release -p notedeck_chrome
-```
-
-## Android Emulator
-
-- Install [Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio)
-- Open 'Device Manager' in Android Studio
-- Add a new device with API level `34` and ABI `arm64-v8a` (even though the app uses 30, the 30 emulator can't find the vulkan adapter, but 34 works fine)
-- Start up the emulator
-
-while the emulator is running, run:
-
-```bash
+# Build and install on connected device
cargo apk run --release -p notedeck_chrome
```
-The app should appear on the emulator
+### Android Emulator
-[direnv]: https://direnv.net/
+1. Install [Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio)
+2. Open 'Device Manager' and create a device with API level `34` and ABI `arm64-v8a`
+3. Start the emulator
+4. Run: `cargo apk run --release -p notedeck_chrome`
-## Android Config
+## ๐งช Development
-You can load custom views onto an android device for testing:
+### Android Configuration
+
+Customize Android views for testing:
1. Copy `example-android-config.json` to `android-config.json`
+2. Run `make push-android-config` to deploy to your device
-2. Run `make push-android-config` to copy it to your device
-
-## Previews
-
-You can preview individual widgets and views by running the preview script:
-
-```bash
-./preview RelayView
-./preview ProfilePreview
-# ... etc
-```
-
-When adding new previews you need to implement the Preview trait for your
-view/widget and then add it to the `src/ui_preview/main.rs` bin:
-
-```rust
-previews!(runner, name,
- RelayView,
- AccountLoginView,
- ProfilePreview,
-);
-```
