+## Experimental Web UI
+
+This fork also contains an experimental `aster-webui` crate for managing custom panel images and
+`Monitor3.json` through a browser.
+
+Current scope:
+
+- upload source images through the browser
+- normalize them to AOOSTAR-safe `960x376` JPG files
+- manage rotation order and switch interval
+- enable or disable custom panels without the vendor web UI
+
+Start it from the workspace root:
+
+```bash
+cargo run -p aster-webui -- --config-dir /config --bind 0.0.0.0:8080
+```
+
+Important:
+
+- the current web UI writes compatible `Monitor3.json` and `/config/img/*` assets
+- animated GIF uploads currently use the first frame only
+- native screen driving is still handled separately; the next step is wiring the web UI directly
+  into a full `aoostar-rs`-based display daemon
