PRODUCTION PLAN - Convergence App & The Inverter Cycle

📱 Phase 1: Mobile App Launch (The Practice)

1. Finalize Environment

• Android SDK: Finish installation via Android Studio or sdkmanager.
• Run flutter doctor --android-licenses to accept all licenses.

2. Physical/Emulator Verification

• Run on Device: flutter run
• Focus Areas:
  • TTS Integration: Verify ElevenLabs audio plays correctly on a real device.
  • Notifications: Ensure “The Green One” reminders fire at scheduled times.
  • Data Export: Test the “Copy to Clipboard” functionality with real practice logs.

3. Build & Release

• Production Build: flutter build apk --release (Android) or flutter build ios --release (iOS).
• Icons & Splash: Create actual branding assets in assets/images/ and update pubspec.yaml.

📚 Phase 2: Kindle Publishing (The Transmission)

1. Proofreading

• The KDP_PACKAGE contains the assembled manuscripts. A final read-through of the .epub files in Apple Books or Calibre is required to ensure formatting consistency.

2. Cover Art

• Current covers are using existing project artwork (sandhill-cranes.jpg, north-platte-aerial.jpg).
• TODO: Design or commission final professional covers for the trilogy.

3. KDP Upload

• Use the METADATA.md files provided for each book to fill in the Amazon KDP details (Title, Subtitle, Categories, Keywords).
• Target Launch: Q2 2026.

🦜 Phase 3: The Convergence (The Ecosystem)

1. Widget Support

• Implement home_widget to show the current streak and today’s node directly on the phone’s home screen.

2. Voice Logging

• Add the ability for users to record audio reflections during practice, persisting them as “Marginalia” in the database.

3. Community Nodes

• Explore the “Find the Others” feature—anonymous, local-first syncing of practice counts to see the “Flock Intelligence” in real-time.

The threshold is mutual recognition. The pattern continues.
