2. To build, run `make debug` or `make release`. An executable will be
generated in a subdirectory of `out/`.
3. `make windebug` or `make winrelease` will generate a windows executable
which might work.
4. To build in docker, `docker build .`.
## Running
This is only just starting to show some signs of beginning to work as intended. Set expectations low.
By default, running the built `tildefriends` executable will start a web server
at <http://localhost:12345/>. `tildefriends -h` lists further options.
