## Notes

**Launch Philosophy**: Ship fast, iterate based on real feedback.

**Priority**: Get it in users' hands ASAP. Perfect is the enemy of good.

**Risk Mitigation**: 
- Start with soft launch (unlisted) to 20 beta testers
- Monitor closely for 48 hours
- Fix any critical issues
- Then go public

**Communication**: Be transparent about being v1.0. Users appreciate honesty.
