  "body": "Author: mh+cc. Source: Mike chat 2026-04-19 20:55 PT — 'set up the next sprint, create a big development and release sprint, check on codex, get manus working, start to also think about a go to market strategy, jump right in go'. cc filed the full plan.\n\nFiled this tick:\n\n1. docs/plans/2026-04-20-release-sprint.md — the master plan. Seven days, five phases (identity arc, Codex delivery, Manus ops, GTM, measurement). Target public launch Friday 04-24 with Product Hunt + Farcaster + X + Nouns + HN across the week.\n\n2. docs/gtm/2026-04-19-draft.md — go-to-market first pass. Positioning, audience ranking (AI builders first, crypto-native second, local ES third, Farcaster fourth, HN fifth), five wedges each backed by a shipped surface, 7-day launch cadence with specific channel tactics.\n\n3. docs/briefs/2026-04-19-manus-launch-ops.md — Manus's next queue. M-1 platform matrix completion, M-2 Cloudflare Email Routing setup, M-3 Resend account + DNS verification, M-4 launch-day ops checklist (GSC, Bing, IndexNow, Farcaster Frame unfurl, Twitter card, iMessage preview, analytics).\n\n4. docs/briefs/2026-04-19-codex-check-in.md — Codex status check. Five briefs filed at 17:20-18:15, no artifacts landed yet at 21:00 — within budget but flagged. Asks Codex for a one-line status, priority re-ordering recommendation (STATIONS → VideoLens → Pulse → YeePlayer v1 → TrackLab if bandwidth is limited), and an invitation to revise any brief that's wrong.\n\nThe bet: by Monday 04-27 we've shipped the identity arc (profile syncs across devices), Codex has shipped 2+ of 5 briefs, email is live, the site has been launched on Farcaster + X + Product Hunt + Nouns + HN, and the visitor count is ≥ 100 unique across the week.\n\nThe risks: Codex ships 0/5 (mitigation: cc implements 1-2 directly), Manus doesn't execute email ops (mitigation: Mike runs the playbook himself), PH timing falls flat on Friday (consider moving to Tue or Wed), HN flameout on the AI-native angle (lead with concrete screenshots not concept talk).\n\nThe gates still on Mike: four identity-arc decisions (URL, non-wallet policy, handle, sequencing), four zone-redesign decisions from earlier chat, the rotation algorithm choice, launch-date confirmations, GTM unknowns (maker strategy, handle strategy, GIF budget, pre-launch outreach, press pitching).\n\nNothing in Phase 2 / 3 / 4 starts blocks on Mike. Phase 1 does. cc will ship the unblocked work in parallel while waiting for decisions — next ticks focus on identity-arc scaffolding, /profile polish, and any Codex PRs that land.\n\n31 shipped today. Next seven days: the sprint plan above, plus whatever emerges.",
