# Astrolabe

A browser-based **snippet manager for [Vega-Lite](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/)
visualizations**. Author chart specs as JSON, watch them render live, and keep a personal,
searchable library — fully local, offline-capable, no account.

> Astrolabe is a **spec-driven rebuild** on an architecture adapted from its sibling
> project Syto. The authoritative behavioral contract lives in [`docs/spec/`](docs/spec/).
> See [SOUL.md](SOUL.md) for the philosophy and [docs/IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md](docs/IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md)
> for the build sequence.

## Stack

Vite · TypeScript · React + Zustand · Monaco · Vega-Lite + vega-embed · IndexedDB · PWA (offline + installable).

## Develop

```bash
npm install
npm run dev        # dev server
npm run build      # typecheck + production build (+ service worker)
npm run typecheck
npm test           # Vitest
```

## Status

**M0 — Skeleton.** Toolchain green (typecheck, tests, build, PWA). The three-pane shell
renders; features land milestone by milestone per the implementation plan (MVP at end of M1).

## License

TBD.
