Description
Over time, apps tend to always get harder to setup, which makes the barrier to entry for contributions tougher.
Apps should be made easy to setup according to where it makes most sense to spend more time on doing so.
I would prefer to not resort to a VM image based system or the likes, as it makes it too easy to not spend time on making things transparent, which will bite us when information is most needed (e.g. cloud apocalypse debugging). As such, we should be able to reason about what is hard for new users and if it's an edge-case or if it really indicates a too complex / not-transperant issue.
Therefore, please list issues you encounter when trying to contribute to one of the apps like so:
> I tried to work on app X, for reason Y, and it was hard because of Z.

Research direction
Begin by selecting an app in the repository and attempting its contributor setup. Record each obstacle using the requested “I tried...” format, distinguishing edge cases from broader transparency or complexity problems. Done means the setup issues are documented clearly enough to assess where effort should be spent.
