🧭 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
