Contribute
You don't need to write code. Accurate quest data matters as much as good code, and playing the game is how we get it. If you do code, look for issues labeled good first issue.
Self host
You'll need Node.js, pnpm, a free Supabase project, and your own Claude API key. The README walks through setup. Don't want to run Postgres and pay for inference? Use the hosted version.
