README
LynxHub
Cross-platform, extensible terminal and browser for AI management.
LynxHub consolidates your AI workflow into a single, unified workspace.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Not a One-Click Installer
> LynxHub is an advanced manager and environment wrapper, not a one-click magic installer. While it offers robust installation support, it assumes you have a basic understanding of your preferred AI WebUIs. You can clone and configure new interfaces or seamlessly connect existing ones on your drive.

💻 Development & Architecture
LynxHub is built on a modern desktop stack using Electron, React, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, and Vite.
Architecture Brief
src/main: Electron backend. Handles OS native integrations, PTY terminals, Git ops, secure local storage (lowdb), IPC routing, and plugin lifecycle orchestration.
src/renderer: React frontend. Uses Module Federation for dynamic runtime injection of extensions (UI elements, reducers) and modules. Employs independent child windows for lightweight auxiliary tasks (toasts, link previews).
# Clone the repository

# Install dependencies and start in dev mode
npm i --legacy-peer-deps
npm run dev
Hotkeys:F12 for DevTools, Ctrl+R to refresh the renderer.
Build
Native modules compile automatically during installation.
npm run build
