How to open file. Explain this
After downloading the ZIP:
1) Extract/unzip it.
2) Open the folder you extracted.
3) Open the main HTML file in a browser:
- For rc-alpha: open rc-alpha/beta.html (Cards UI) or rc-alpha/index.html
- For rc-beta: open rc-beta/beta.html or rc-beta/index.html
- For most stable rc-rc: open rc-rc/index.html
Important notes:
- Some browsers block certain features when opening files directly (file://). If something doesn't work, try another browser.
- Your settings and data are saved in localStorage/IndexedDB in your browser profile, not inside the ZIP.
