The page should only promise what the current product, review state, and distribution channel can actually support.
Make privacy inspectable
Book files, reading position, and settings stay in the app sandbox. There are no accounts or third-party tracking SDKs.
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.
