 2. Pepare your MySQL/MariaDB.
 3. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and edit it to match with server environment.
 4. Build the binary with `make server` (or `make build` to build both
    **server** and **client** binaries).

--   Use `a-h/templ` and `HTMX` instead of `Svelte`.
--   Use Go standard `net/http` instead of `fiber`.

+## Donation
+
+The servers costs are currently covered by myself. If you find this project
+useful, please consider making a donation to help cover the ongoing expenses.
+Your contribution will go towards ensuring the continued availability of the
+website and **my** `stagenet` and `testnet` public remote nodes.
