## What it is
ALM is a browser-based IDE built specifically for TypeScript development, installable via a single npm command and served locally. It offers TypeScript-aware editing features like live compilation, linting, AST viewing, and git integration, running in Chrome. The project is now archived.

## Use cases
- edit typescript code in a browser-based ide
- set up a lightweight typescript development environment with one npm install
- view typescript ast and dependency graphs while coding
- live preview compiled javascript from typescript
- develop typescript on low-power devices like raspberry pi
- lint typescript projects as i type

## When to choose
- you want a zero-config, npm-installable IDE dedicated to TypeScript
- you prefer editing in Chrome with live compile and lint feedback
- you're on a lightweight machine like a Raspberry Pi and need a responsive editor

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained tool - the project is archived since 2022
- you need multi-language support beyond TypeScript
- you require a full-featured desktop IDE with debugging and plugin ecosystems
