Project briefs and meeting notes your team can read on a public link, with a chart of who’s been reading.

How it’s made.

A full-stack product, not a mock-up: a typed React front end, a Go API and a Postgres database, tested end to end on every push. Guest mode runs the same app entirely in your browser.
