Adding building from source instructions? about kando HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi there! I guess this could be made more clear in the README. However, building from source is really not more than

npm install
npm run make

This does not "install" the package system wide or something, it just pulls and builds all dependencies and finally creates some compiled packages in <kando>/out directory. Currently, it creates a zip, deb, and rpm archive. I'll try to reword the README to make this more obvious 😄

I just added another section to the README. There is also npm run package which will compile a release-mode executable without putting it right into an archive. Maybe that's more convenient for Arch 😄

Thank you mate. I'm currently testing Hyprland (Wayland-based). I hope that in the future Kando will support also it ^^

I am pretty optimistic that it could work. AFAIK, Hyprland uses wlroots which implements the Virtual Keyboard Protocol. There's also the Virtual Pointer protocol for wlroots, so there's a good chance that we can create a backend for Hyprland!
