Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate if Eel provides any built in mechanism for file drag and drop. Check the documentation and examples for handling HTML events and passing data to Python. Look at existing Eel issues or PRs related to file input. Try implementing a simple prototype using JavaScript's drag and drop API and exposing a Python function to receive the file path.
