## Blockers

| Blocker | Owner | Impact | Resolution |
|---------|-------|--------|------------|
| 🔴 **scripter.app DOWN** | CTO | CRITICAL - Site returns 522 (checked 2026-04-27 00:05) | Deploy immediately |
| Screenshot capture | CMO/Founder | Cannot submit PH | Requires site live first |
| Stable product build | CTO | GIFs/video | Week of May 1 |
| Mobile app screenshots | CTO | Optional asset | Skip if not ready |

---

## 🚨 Critical: Site Not Live (Updated 2026-04-27 00:05)

**Status:** scripter.app returns HTTP 522 (Connection Timed Out) - **4 days overdue**

**Impact:** 
- ❌ Cannot capture screenshots
- ❌ Cannot submit Product Hunt page (due April 23!)
- ❌ Launch momentum severely compromised

**Required Action:**
1. **CTO:** Deploy scripter.app immediately
2. **Verify:** Run `curl -I https://scripter.app` - expect HTTP 200
3. **Then:** Execute screenshot capture (15 min)
4. **Then:** Submit PH page (15 min)

**Timeline Risk:** 
- April 23: Original deadline (4 days ago)
- April 27: Current date (site still down)
- May 7: Target launch date (10 days remaining)
- **Risk:** Insufficient time for supporter outreach = launch failure

**Manual Execution Path (when site is live):**
```bash
# Option 1: Use existing script
bash /home/mike/code/FrenoCorp/marketing/product-hunt-assets/screenshots/capture-screenshots.sh

# Option 2: Manual browser capture
# See: /home/mike/code/FrenoCorp/marketing/product-hunt-assets/CAPTURE-GUIDE.md

# Option 3: Use Node.js script
node /home/mike/code/FrenoCorp/scripts/capture-ph-screenshots.js
```
