+- Run commands in the container with `podman compose exec app <command>`
+- This keeps your host environment clean and ensures reproducible builds
+
 ### Commands
+
+#### Local Development (with Podman - Recommended)
+- `podman compose up --build`: Start development container with auto-rebuild
+- `podman compose up -d`: Start development container in background
+- `podman compose exec app npm run dev`: Start dev server inside container
+- `podman compose exec app npm run build`: Build inside container
+
+#### Direct Commands (without Podman)
 - `npm install`: Install dependencies
 - `npm run dev`: Start local development server at `localhost:4321`
