Building from source

git clone https://github.com/arunkumar-mourougappane/bit-twiddler
cd bit-twiddler/src-tauri
cargo build --release

Optional — rebuild Tailwind CSS (requires the standalone Tailwind CLI binary next to Cargo.toml):

# macOS arm64 example
curl -sLo src-tauri/tailwindcss-macos-arm64 \
  https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/releases/latest/download/tailwindcss-macos-arm64
chmod +x src-tauri/tailwindcss-macos-arm64
cargo build --release   # build.rs picks it up automatically

The pre-generated ui/styles.css is committed, so the Tailwind step is skipped when the binary is absent.
