How do I deploy it locally?

They don't want you to deploy it locally. It's a broken "open source" code.

It is difficult to deploy it locally for now.

This repo is only several days old. However, most of the code was already written before the CEO decided to set the repo visibility to public, and it is still left in its original state to load internal dependencies (which contain secret keys and probably can never be set to public).

As you can see, this is a Firebase project, it adds even more steps to deploy it locally.
Several factors complicate the matter of running it truly locally:

• Dependency to the Firebase ecosystem
• Database is involved in caching
• Use of private classes in code
• Use of private services like captioning of images

There could be several steps

• Remove reference to thinapps-shared to make it deployable but still runs on Firebase
• Either remove caching or refactor to allow other databases
• Make image captioning optional and add public model providers
• Provide a local server like Express for the entry point.

Before completing these steps, one can only read the code and comprehend its working mechanisms.

If you are eager to use it, you can copy and modify the puppeteer.ts to fit into your own systems.

You can ask @hanxiao on Twitter to prioritize the steps or help with the coding directly.
Hopefully, we can go through all the steps in the near future.

Searching the codebase for from '../shared/services yields many files making this totally unusable locally or even deployable on my own!
