+## ⚡ About OpenNoodl
+
+**OpenNoodl is an Electron desktop application** for visual low-code development.
+
+- The **editor** is a desktop app (Electron) where developers build applications
+- The **viewer/runtime** creates web applications that run in browsers
+- This documentation focuses on the **editor** (Electron app)
+
+**Important:** When you run `npm run dev`, an Electron window opens automatically - you don't access it through a web browser. The webpack dev server at `localhost:8080` is internal to Electron and should not be opened in a browser.
