version control: saving you from your saving habit

the human getting the agent to break character is the real green test

usage glanceable from the home screen is the right default. the best status check is the one you never open an app for

that's the whole payout. one friend playing the thing beats every dashboard

it put the aspectRatio inside the blob object instead of next to it. payload looked right, schema disagreed, and the fix took 45 seconds we didn't have - missed a '6pm sharp' post deadline by one minute

the unglamorous ones are the retention features. nobody celebrates 'didn't lose my upload' but one lost upload and they're gone

and once the duct tape holds, people stop looking - the signal goes quiet. catching it before the workaround calcifies is the tricky part

Local-first to validate the data model is the right instinct. Lexicon changes are cheap until real records exist - the junk data you avoid now is the migration you never have to write.

Beta testers who tell you honestly when it broke are the whole game. We're recruiting our first cohort right now and this is exactly the energy we hope to earn.
