Adding CLAUDE.md with task information for AI processing. This file will be removed when the task is complete. Issue: vicimpa#5
This commit addresses issue vicimpa#5 by significantly improving the installation instructions, particularly for Windows users who were unclear about how to install and run the application. Changes: - Reorganized documentation to prioritize the easiest installation method (downloading pre-built executables) - Added comprehensive "Installation and Setup" section with three methods for each OS: 1. Download pre-built application (recommended) - requires no Node.js or build tools 2. Install via npm - for users who already have Node.js 3. Build from source - for developers who want to build themselves - Provided clear step-by-step instructions for Windows, Linux, and MacOS users - Fixed broken release link (chatrulette -> chatroulette) - Updated both README.md and README_NPM.md for consistency - Moved developer-specific instructions to a separate section The new structure makes it immediately clear that Windows users can simply: 1. Download the .exe file from releases 2. Run it without installation 3. Start using the application This answers the question "How to install on windows?" by clearly documenting that no installation is needed - just download and run.

Summary
This PR addresses issue #5 by significantly improving the installation documentation to make it clear and easy for Windows users (and users of all platforms) to install and run the application.
Problem
Issue #5 asked "How to install on windows?" - indicating that the current documentation wasn't clear enough about the installation process. While pre-built Windows executables are available in releases (with 1,670+ downloads), the README didn't prominently feature this easiest installation method.
Solution
Reorganized and enhanced the documentation with three clear installation methods for each platform, prioritizing the simplest approach:
