| 1 | <!-- 🤖 Roadmap: the forward companion to milestones.html. Where Milestones is |
| 2 | the story of what's shipped, this is the honest plan for what's next — the |
| 3 | road to V1, in member language. AI-generated (the 🤖 marker) and kept |
| 4 | current as tracks move. No GitHub issue numbers (the app |
| 5 | repo is private) and no operator/security internals — a public roadmap |
| 6 | names what members will feel, not how the fleet is run. Fully |
| 7 | self-contained: shared tokens/masthead/nav in status.css, a small inline |
| 8 | block for the track list and status pills. No JS, no external requests. --> |

| 84 | <ul class="bar"> |
| 85 | <li><b>Getting started feels effortless.</b> <span>The first five minutes are the |
| 86 | product. No dead ends, no jargon, no "what now?" — better than anything you've used.</span></li> |
| 87 | <li><b>Paying is calm and fair.</b> <span>Upgrading stays out of your way until the |
| 88 | moment you need it, and never feels like a toll booth. Always there, never pushy.</span></li> |
| 89 | <li><b>It's solid on every device.</b> <span>The Mac and iPhone apps feel as finished |
| 90 | as the web — no jank, no surprises, nothing that reads as a beta.</span></li> |
| 91 | <li><b>Your account and history are safe forever.</b> <span>Losing a device or a |
| 92 | passkey can never mean losing your conversations. Recovery just works.</span></li> |
| 93 | <li><b>The promise holds everywhere.</b> <span>If our servers were compromised, an |
| 94 | attacker still gets nothing. And every surface meets the accessibility bar we've set.</span></li> |

| 174 | Alongside it: accessibility to the WCAG 2.2 AA standard on every surface, |
