Tadpole for your computer
=========================

This keeps a copy of your diary from the Tadpole phone app, shows it on a bigger screen, and holds documents (a diet plan, a lab report) you want next to it.
You do not need it: the phone app works fine on its own. Everything stays on your computer and your phone.

To start:    python3 start.py      (on Windows:  py start.py)
It sets itself up the first time. Your browser opens to the pairing page.

To connect your phone:
  1. Install the Tadpole app on your phone (the Phone page here has the file).
  2. On the Phone page, make a pairing code, scan it with your phone's camera, and tap the link.
  3. Your phone and this computer must be on the same Wi-Fi (or both on Tailscale).
  If your firewall asks about Python, allow it on private networks: that is the phone's door.

Where things are:   data/   (your diary, certificate and documents). Back up that folder.
To stop:            press Ctrl+C in this window.
