 ```bash
-# Start all three (backend + frontend + electron)

+If you run frontend separately, you can also set:

+
+```bash
+# Start frontend in browser
 npm run dev
+
+# Or start the full desktop app (backend + tauri)
+npm run dev:tauri
 ```
 
 Or run them separately:
 
 ```bash

-cd backend && python -m uvicorn main:app --reload --port 8642
+cd backend && python -m uvicorn main:app --reload --port 8000

-   - Best choice: **CutScript** (newest, explicitly built as "offline Descript alternative" with text-based editing) or **Audapolis** (more mature, ~1.8k stars, wordprocessor-like experience for spoken-word video/audio).

    - Reason: The hard parts (local Whisper transcription with word-level timestamps, syncing text deletions to video cuts, FFmpeg handling) are already solved. You save 4–8 weeks and focus on polish.

 ### Why This Will Work
 - **Market demand is real**: Creators love text-based editing because it feels revolutionary for dialogue-heavy videos. They want it faster, cheaper, and private/offline. Existing alternatives are either cloud-based with subscriptions or clunky open-source tools.
-- **Competition gap**: CutScript and Audapolis prove interest but lack slick UX and the "one magic button" polish. You can own the "delightful local Descript killer" niche.
+- **Competition gap**: Existing local editors prove interest but often lack slick UX and the "one magic button" polish. You can own the "delightful local Descript killer" niche.
 - **Solo-dev friendly**: Forking + AI code generation makes this realistic without a team.
 
 Once you ship the MVP and get initial users, you can add nice-to-haves (e.g., custom filler lists, better subtitle export, optional cloud boost) based on real feedback.
 
 **Next immediate actions**:
-- Clone CutScript or Audapolis today and run it locally to see the current state.
+- Continue from TalkEdit and benchmark against Audapolis today to compare current UX quality.
 - Set up a new Tauri project and start refactoring the UI/transcript editor.
 
 If you want, I can give you the exact Git commands, first AI prompts for refactoring, folder structure, or even sample code for the "Clean it" button + FFmpeg polish chain.

 # Plan for Building TalkEdit (Whisper.cpp + Tauri)
 
-Based on your original idea summary and our discussions, here's a detailed plan to build a standalone, local audio/video editor app. We'll modify CutScript as the base, migrate to **Tauri 2.0** (Rust backend + React frontend) for tiny, dependency-free installers, and use **Whisper.cpp** for fast, accurate transcription. This keeps the scope minimal, focuses on text-based editing for spoken content, and targets podcasters/YouTubers.

    - Update `tauri.conf.json` for app metadata, bundle settings.
