This is amazing! Thank you so much for working on this.

I have a few points of feedback:

• When I run npm run dev, I see the following error:
  
• I would prefer not to change the existing scripts in package.json, but rather introduce a new one for Electron
• Let's keep "main": "src/index.ts", for now, since I believe that impacts how we can import from the package. I'm not sure what the benefit of changing this is.
• The usage of cors seems like it may not be strictly necessary. Perhaps it is, but something worth looking into, if we can remove it as a dependency.

To summarize the additional changes I'd like to see before merging this:

• Please revert npm run dev to the same as it was before, so that I and others can continue to develop VZCode without invoking Electron
• Please add a separate script that starts up the electron app and server, and ideally document in the README the exact commands recommended to start the electron app
• Please revert the "main": "src/index.ts"
• Please check if it can still work without the cors dependency

Thank you so much!

maybe pkg also is another option
still not done

Whoah thank you @icoco !

I'd still like to make this happen. Not sure what the easiest path is, but it would be great to be able to do this:

npm install -g vzcode
cd my-local-source-code-dir
vzcode .

then have the app open as an Electron app to edit my files locally.
