QA Scribe

QA Scribe is a local-first desktop testing notepad that helps testers capture a bounded testing Session and turn the raw material into structured Testware. The current application is a Rust/Tauri 2 desktop app with a React/Vite renderer, a Rust-owned SQLite store, and optional AI generation through already-authenticated local CLI tools.

What it does

QA Scribe collects Notes, Findings, Drafts, screenshots, logs, API responses, and context in a local Session Library. The product language comes from CONTEXT.md, while the current implementation is described in README.md and split across crates/qa-scribe-core, src-tauri, and frontend.
