Pages to work on.
Six examples printed by the current Switchback renderer. Each one names its style, the shape of the session, and the collection its pages come from. Each page below is the renderer's own output, shown at A4 proportions. Open a page at full size to inspect the print.
Should we rewrite the sync feature?
7 pages · 45 min

Distributed systems, for the interview

Naming the new project

Weekly check-in

What can I build in a two-week jam?
8 pages · 45 min

Your agent
- Your question first
- You asked how much fits in 20 minutes. About three ideas, each with one story. Open with the line you highlighted, ask for help earlier, and let the March outage carry it.
- Still open
- The live demo might fail, so I won't build the talk around it until you decide.
- Crossed out
- You crossed out the new dashboard, so it stays out.
- Next
- Pick the three stories. I can print one page to sort them.
