Local playground for Midnight Compact contracts - run a full node, indexer, and proof server via Docker, fund your Lace wallet, and deploy without testnets or faucets

Hey everyone ! I’ve put together a Midnight Local Playground for developing Compact contracts entirely on your machine. Includes a full local chain via Docker (node, indexer, proof server), funding and deploy scripts that work with your Lace mnemonic on “Undeployed,” and a Hello World example you can edit and redeploy. No dependency on public testnets or faucets.

I’ve been using it for local development and think it could be useful for workshops or anyone learning the Compact toolchain. Check it out and feedback welcome.
