Postmortem

Packpour is positioned as A browser helper idea compressed by platform rules and AI workflows.

It currently lives across Chrome / App Store Connect / Operations, with public status marked as Postmortem / Extension concept / Matrix operations. This page keeps the download path, repository, privacy boundary, support contact, and build diary under one domain.

The extension direction requires careful platform-rule and account-permission review before any public release.

The page should only promise what the current product, review state, and distribution channel can actually support.

Make privacy inspectable

The extension direction requires careful platform-rule and account-permission review before any public release.

Turn the build into teaching material

The product page and diary series should help other builders understand the decisions, tradeoffs, launch work, and mistakes behind the result.
