Question: Did you ever try to develop with Winows 11?

Question: Did you ever try to develop with Windows 11?

Related to: https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/MultiWikiServer/issues/107 User colour setting.

I wanted to allow users to add a colour setting to their profile. Which imo seemed be a reasonable job for the first contribution.

Since I am new to the codebase and there is an endless list of 3rd party dependencies (which I do not know), I used Gemini CLI (free preview) to explain the structure and stuff used. -> That worked surprisingly well. It seems to understand the directory structure and what the app should do and how.

I also used Gemini CLI to do all the code and database changes, after explaining what it wants to do.
This worked -- somehow, but it almost broke it's neck -- I am on Windows.
It seems scripts.mjs calls unix specific commands that do not work on Windows.
So it needed to "modify" all the scripts first.
Which it also did (surprisingly), but I am not sure if everything was right

In the end

Gemini was able to update the database schema using prisma and the command line.
I was able to run the admin UI.
It seems it also did update the database in the right way.
I did check the database content using the DBVisualizer program. The database was updated with my user-color field
The server got a new route to get and set the data.

But then the Profile UI caused a problem, which in turn was impossible for me to track down. Free token limit was gone.

But I did still learn a lot about the project and Gemini.

------- rant start

Mainly it is impossible to contribute for Windows users using it natively.

IMO that's a big problem, since 72% of PC users in the world use Windows. 12% MacOs and less than 4% user Linux based system. The rest use something else.

I do have WSL installed, and I am able to use it.
I could also use my Dell laptop, which runs Ubuntu pre-installed --- but I don't want to it only has a 13" screen :(

I want to be able to develop TW related stuff with my main Windows 11 Pro system, without breaking my neck.

-------- rant end

Start with scripts.mjs and reproduce the reported development flow on native Windows 11, noting which Unix-specific commands fail. Inspect the related user-colour work and Profile UI only after the setup issue is reproducible; done should mean the documented development commands run on Windows and the profile flow no longer fails.
