Would you consider adding some super basic instructions for first time users of GitHub? This has gone viral, congrats, people are seeing it on X, Threads, Insta etc. but ‘Clone the repo’ or ‘serve locally’ isn’t intuitive to the newbies. If I can elaborate beyond this, though they can google what that means, without clearer language uptake is limited - they’re still the target market for the $$$ products because they don’t know how to go from GitHub to a TV. I downloaded the zip file and all the real flip‑board code doesn't seem to be included in the public repository, just the marketing landing page with a prompt for early access sign up.
