-## Notes
-
-- **Be ruthless about scope** - If it's not essential for day 1 usage, skip it
-- **Working > Pretty** - Ugly but functional beats beautiful but broken
-- **Real usage beats planning** - Get it in their hands ASAP
-- **You can always add more** - But you can't get time back
-- **Database backups** - Copy `database.db` file regularly (simple for now)
