From zero to running in 60 seconds

We believe onboarding friction is one of the biggest killers of open source adoption. If it takes more than a minute to go from 'I found this' to 'I'm using this', most people bounce.

That's why we built a one-command setup script. Run this in any empty folder:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arena-code/yoinko.ai/main/scripts/setup.sh | bash

The script clones the repo, installs dependencies, builds the client bundles, creates the data directory, and prints a friendly message telling you to run npm run dev. That's it.

If you prefer manual setup, it's four commands: clone, npm install, build the client, start the server. No Docker, no config files, no environment variables to set. The defaults work.

Once running, open localhost:4567 and start writing. Your first page is already waiting. The AI features kick in the moment you add an API key in Settings — but the editor works fully without one.

We want yoinko to feel like opening a notebook, not configuring infrastructure.
