- Created build-packages.sh script for easy package building
- Added npm scripts for building from project root
- Created comprehensive README-BUILDING.md documentation
- Fixed package.json metadata (author, homepage, repository)
- Added maintainer information for Linux packages
Features:
- AppImage: Portable, no installation required (~145MB)

- Added Electron development scripts:
* electron-dev.sh for streamlined development workflow
* setup-electron.sh for initial Electron environment setup
- Electron app now starts successfully without TypeScript compilation errors
- SQLite plugin fully functional with proper configuration access
Status: Electron platform now working for TimeSafari development
