Account Mode or Developer Mode?

Account Mode needs Next.js App Router and a persistent server. It cannot run on GitHub Pages, because browser editing and authentication require server-side storage.

Use Developer Mode if you want git-based editing, Pages Router support, or static export.

Add-ons are exclusive to Account Mode. The add-on platform is an upcoming 1.0.0 module, not a working marketplace yet.
