## 🧭 Development Philosophy

**Small tasks → Pick one → Complete → Move on**

Instead of rigid milestones, we use a **flexible task-based approach**:
- 136 small, independent tasks across 10 categories
- Pick any task, any order
- Start small, ship often
- No deadlines, just continuous progress

**Philosophy:** Small steps → Consistent progress → Compound results
