## Problem

Most side projects die as repos. Ueue was a deliberate exercise in the
opposite: take one idea and ship it as a *complete product ecosystem*: apps on
[iOS](https://apps.apple.com/in/app/save-watch-later-ueue/id6783338928) and
[Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ueue), a
[browser extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/jpblogopoikmddifigglmhbmmdlcdkpf),
and a [website](https://ueue.ziyarex.com/), with one person doing product,
design, engineering, and release.

Ueue itself is a save-for-later app: the calm queue for everything you mean to get
to. It captures from any app, sorts your saves into lists, resurfaces them on
gentle schedules, and can even pick what fits the time you actually have, so the
things you save get finished instead of buried in a bookmark graveyard. Mobile and
web stay in sync, a browser extension saves the current tab in one click, and a
focus mode with no feed keeps it about finishing, not scrolling.

The constraint *was* the brief: what does it take to run every role at once
and still ship something people can install today?

## Decisions

**Three surfaces, one spine.** The app, extension, and site share the same
backend and the same product vocabulary. Each surface does what it's
uniquely good at instead of cloning the others, the extension lives where
the user's attention already is, the app owns the dedicated session, the
site explains and onboards.

**Scope like a solo dev, polish like a team.** Feature list ruthlessly
short; states (empty, loading, error, offline) treated as first-class
features. A small product that behaves impeccably beats a large one that
mostly works.

**Ship real, learn real.** Play Store review, Chrome Web Store review, a
live domain, the unglamorous production details are the point. Side
projects that skip them prove nothing.

## Outcome

{/* TODO(saif): usage metrics slot, installs / weekly actives, and the
    one public lesson, when you want to state them. */}

All the surfaces are live and reviewed: the apps on the App Store and Google
Play, the extension in the Chrome Web Store, and the site in production. One person
carried a single idea through three different review processes and three
different runtimes, and the ecosystem still behaves like one product,
because every surface shares the same spine.
