Requirements:
- Choose the simplest stack that genuinely delivers this. A focused web app or site is fine; deployable to a single host.
- Shipping quality: clean layout, fast load, sensible defaults, readable on mobile.
- Design language: the product has its own identity, not a template default. Palette: soil brown #6f4e37, leaf green #606c38, sunlit cream #fefae0, rust #bc6c25. Visual style: earthy handcrafted utility. Build the UI in that theme - backgrounds, accents and type personality - rather than a generic dark-gray-and-lime scheme.
- Build the core user loop end to end. Avoid dead buttons and placeholder pages.
- Keep the first version tight enough to launch this month. Note anything deliberately deferred.
- No cryptocurrency, gambling or pay-to-win mechanics, even as a joke.
- When done, list the 3 most useful things to do to reach the first real users.
