Run locally

npm install
cp .env.example .env.local   # set NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL
npm run dev                   # http://localhost:3001

Needs the FastAPI backend running:

# In OrbitChem repo
uvicorn api.main_v2:app --port 8003
# or point to HF Spaces: NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=https://chemenovausa-orbitchem.hf.space

Deploy to Vercel

1. Import Cheme-Nova/orbitchem-web on Vercel
2. Add env var: NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=https://chemenovausa-orbitchem.hf.space
3. Deploy → add custom domain app.chemenova.com
