Design Principles
Keep the public promise narrow
The page should only promise what the current product, review state, and distribution channel can actually support.
Make privacy inspectable
Notes stay in the local folder selected by the user. When local models are used, writing content does not leave the device.
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.
Build Diary
The diary records the product from idea, design, implementation, review, launch, operations, and post-release learning.
