Software

The package manager that you need to use with MinPluto must be Bun since it appears to be the most functional option for this project. Attempting to use another package manager like Yarn or PNPM may cause issues, view Package Managers in the Compatibility section. There seems to be some issues related to both @astrojs/vue and @iconoir/vue.

Bun is much faster for installation time and it works standalone, meaning you don't need NodeJS installed for it to work.

🔘: Untested

All browsers are tested as-is out of box. Some functions with ❌ can probably work if you tweak the settings or interact with a built-in extension.

For Firefox-based browsers: Timestamp may show wrong data on first load, everything works correctly after a reload and so on.

ᴸᴬ: Tested in Lambdatest

*1: This web browser is unstable to operate

*2: Seeking doesn't work

*3: Ladybird is a new web browser that is uncompleted. This browser is not expected to work correctly for MinPluto at the moment.
