Date:

Attendance

Agenda

We agreed to keep the session to 45 minutes and focus on outcomes, not tooling debates.

  1. Set Goals for the Project MVP
  2. Review open questions from last week
  3. Sketch flows for start / pause / reset
  4. Decide what we ship in sprint one

Unfinished business

From last meeting

We still owe a written definition of focus session versus break so analytics stay consistent. Riley will post a one-paragraph glossary in the shared doc by Wednesday.

Why this matters

Without shared terms, reports will disagree on completion rates. The glossary removes ambiguity for future features like long breaks and custom timers.

New business

Timer behavior

The team prefers a single primary action on the home screen: start focus. Secondary actions (skip break, edit length) should stay one tap away, not buried in settings.

Accessibility

We will mirror the MDN accessibility overview as a checklist while we prototype. Keyboard control and visible focus states are non-negotiable for the MVP.
