How We Prioritize

1. Time-Based Features First

Calendar integration and time tracking solve real pain. Tasks without time allocation rarely get done.

2. Individual-First Design

Every feature helps individuals work better. Team features enhance, never replace, personal productivity.

3. CLI Remains Primary

Web and mobile complement, never replace, the terminal experience.

4. Quality Over Quantity

Fewer features done exceptionally well. No feature creep.
