+# CodeNomad UI
+
+This package contains the frontend user interface for CodeNomad, built with [SolidJS](https://www.solidjs.com/) and [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/).
+
+## Overview
+
+The UI is designed to be a high-performance, low-latency cockpit for managing OpenCode sessions. It connects to the CodeNomad server (either running locally via CLI or embedded in the Electron app).
+
+## Features
+
+- **SolidJS**: Fine-grained reactivity for high performance.
+- **Tailwind CSS**: Utility-first styling for rapid development.
+- **Vite**: Fast build tool and dev server.
+
+## Development
+
+To run the UI in standalone mode (connected to a running server):
+
+```bash
+npm run dev
+```
+
+This starts the Vite dev server at `http://localhost:3000`.
+
+## Building
+
+To build the production assets:
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
+
+The output will be generated in the `dist` directory, which is then consumed by the Server or Electron app.
