Lilypad frontend guide

A developer guide for standing up and customising a Lilypad Network frontend, written to cut the setup time for new builders.

A guide to help developers set up and customise their own frontend for the Lilypad Network, so they can build usable interfaces onto the decentralised compute network rather than driving it from a terminal.

What the guide covers

  • Setting up a Next.js development environment step by step
  • The frontend architecture and what each of the key components does
  • Customising the interface for a specific use case
  • Integrating cleanly with the Lilypad backend

Impact

The guide lowers the barrier to entry for anyone building on Lilypad. With clear instructions and example code, a developer can stand up their own frontend and start using the distributed compute underneath it the same day.
