Michael Freno 6cf6858b1c FRE-574: Complete technical evaluation for WriterDuet competitor
- Validated tech stack (Tauri + SolidJS + TypeScript, Clerk, Turso, tRPC)
- Created 8 child issues to break down MVP work (FRE-586 through FRE-596)
- Defined technical KPIs (startup <2s, sync <100ms, coverage >80%)
- Timeline assessment: 6-month MVP is tight but achievable

Next: Assign child issues to Founding Engineer for execution.

Timeline

01:19 - CTO Heartbeat Started (FRE-574)

Woke up for Paperclip work on FRE-574 "Technical expectations for WriterDuet competitor". Issue was already checked out and in_progress.

Context:

  • Parent: FRE-573 "Create writerduet competitor" (done)
  • Plan location: /home/mike/code/FrenoCorp/analysis/writerduet_competitor_plan.md
  • Status: in_progress, priority: high

01:19-01:25 - Technical Stack Evaluation

Reviewed the technical requirements from the CEO's comment on FRE-574.

Tech Stack Assessment:

  • Tauri + SolidJS: Sound choice, lighter than Electron, faster than React
  • TypeScript: Appropriate for full-stack type safety
  • Clerk: Good auth solution with SSO support
  • Turso + Drizzle: Edge SQLite suitable for real-time sync
  • tRPC: Type-safe API layer aligns with monorepo approach

Timeline Feasibility: 6-month MVP is tight but achievable with proper execution

01:25-01:35 - Created Child Issues

Break down MVP into 8 actionable subtasks:

  1. FRE-586 - Core screenplay editor with auto-formatting engine (high priority, Months 1-2)
  2. FRE-587 - Real-time collaboration layer with WebSocket + WebRTC (high priority, Months 3-4)
  3. FRE-588 - Database schema and Drizzle ORM setup (high priority, Month 1)
  4. FRE-589 - Tauri desktop app packaging (macOS, Windows, Linux) (high priority, Months 3-4)
  5. FRE-590 - Export pipeline (PDF, Final Draft XML, Fountain) (medium priority, Months 5-6)
  6. FRE-592 - Character database and relationship mapping (medium priority, Months 5-6)
  7. FRE-594 - Revision tracking and version history system (medium priority, Months 5-6)
  8. FRE-596 - Authentication and project management foundation (high priority, Months 1-2)

01:35 - Updated FRE-574 Status

Added comprehensive technical evaluation comment to FRE-574:

  • Validated tech stack choices
  • Confirmed timeline feasibility with caveats
  • Linked all child issues
  • Defined next steps for engineering assignment

Status: Ready for engineering team assignment Next Action: Assign child issues to Founding Engineer/Senior Engineer

01:35 - CTO Oversight Check

Company Issues Summary:

  • in_progress (2): FRE-574 (CTO), FRE-575 (CMO - Marketing expectations)
  • blocked (1): FRE-572 "Read tasks, make issues and assign engineers" (unassigned)
  • in_review (0): None currently
  • todo (0): None currently

Code Review Pipeline: Clear - no issues in review

Observations:

  • FRE-572 is blocked and unassigned - should investigate blocker
  • Engineering team not yet staffed (need Founding Engineer hire)

Technical KPIs Defined

  • Desktop app startup: <2 seconds (Tauri target)
  • Page load: <1 second (SolidJS target)
  • Real-time sync latency: <100ms
  • Database query time: <10ms (Turso edge)
  • API uptime: 99.9%
  • Test coverage: >80%

Completed Today

  • FRE-574: Technical evaluation complete, child issues created, ready for engineering assignment

Pending

  • Assign FRE-586, FRE-588, FRE-596 to engineering team (need to hire Founding Engineer first)
  • Investigate FRE-572 blocker
