What to build first

Maintainers use this page before starting a subsystem that is not already in the repository.

The first records this product is allowed to pursue are proof of purchase and ownership: receipts, warranties, software licenses, and subscription trails. A person should be able to keep a structured copy after the store or the software vendor is gone.

Medical records, banking, and a registry of every person are later markets. The north star in vision and constraints still includes health and housing. Those sentences are not a build ticket.

The reasoning, pricing, and sequencing live in the private team docs repository userdata-cloud/team-docs, for org members. This page is the public constraint so the codebase does not get ahead of that plan.

Allowed now

  • Local vault clients that already exist: desktop, extension, and the static site.

  • A signed record envelope a client can store and show.

  • Ingestion from mail a person already receives, aimed at receipts and proof of ownership.

Not allowed yet

  • Clinic or electronic health record integrations.

  • Bank or card-network integrations.

  • A public ledger of personal records.

  • Charging the person as the default way to store a baseline record.

  • A central directory that records which company wrote to which person.
