On investigation it looks like the author is working on adding arm64 support but it's blocked by lack of binaries for node 14 (?) https://source.small-tech.org/site.js/app/-/issues/148. 32 bit arm apparently works fine

That being said, maybe they should 1. say "this does not work with arm64 yet" (apparently it works on the pinebook pro somehow?), and 2. error out if it's being run on an arch that isn't supported, or 3. do an install from source instead of distributing a 120MB binary.
