# OpenCut Tech Reader Brief

> A fast, source-grounded read of OpenCut’s ground-up rewrite: a moonrepo monorepo with web, API, and Rust desktop surfaces, still early in scaffold relative to its editor roadmap.

## Pages

- [Why This Repo Matters](https://grok-wiki.com/public/wiki/opencut-app-opencut-2bfee888b2cd/pages/01-why-this-repo-matters.md): OpenCut is rebuilding a free, MIT-licensed video editor for web, desktop, and mobile. This page separates the product story from what the tree actually contains today: a multi-app monorepo shell, not a finished editor core.
- [Web, API, and GPUI Desktop Under Moon](https://grok-wiki.com/public/wiki/opencut-app-opencut-2bfee888b2cd/pages/02-web-api-and-gpui-desktop-under-moon.md): How the monorepo is wired: Vite and TanStack-style routing on web, a thin TypeScript API with health and echo routes, a Rust desktop entry on gpui, and moon/proto task orchestration across apps.
- [What Builders Should Notice](https://grok-wiki.com/public/wiki/opencut-app-opencut-2bfee888b2cd/pages/03-what-builders-should-notice.md): The surprising density of the shadcn-style UI kit versus sparse editor logic, generated route trees, Bun CI, and the real constraints: architecture still in design, classic vs rewrite split, and what is worth watching as the Rust core and plugin surface appear.
