  1. Recap last week's timer prototype goals
  2. Brainstorm user stories for the MVP

  4. Action items and owners

Unfinished business

We still owe a short write-up comparing local-first vs cloud-sync storage for session history. Decision needed before we lock the data model.


Open questions from last time

Should the default work interval stay at 25 minutes or become configurable on first launch?

New business

New topic: add an optional end-of-session sound.


Dependencies

Jamie will try Web Audio API to implement the end-of-session sound.
