PrintQueue

scores

PrintQueue is thrashing — regressed from launching→idea→designing→development→designing within 48h, with progress slashed from 88% to 30%. Signals a scope/identity crisis, not a build problem.

• Write a one-paragraph description and tagline today
• Define the single core user and print job flow
• List the 3 features required for v1, cut rest
• Pick deployment target (local CUPS vs cloud) and commit
• Stop stage-toggling until scope doc is written

• 13 days ago0.5hCreated a private GitHub repo (Komark0/printqueue) and pushed both existing commits so the project shows on the dashboard.
