+## 💡 CLAUDE'S KEY INSIGHTS
+
+### 1. No Critical Features Missing

+---
+
+### 4. Documentation is Critical
+> "Only 2 real risks: Poor documentation, No clear value proposition"

+**Action:** Focus on docs and positioning
+
+---
+
+### 5. Ship Now, Iterate Later
+> "Ship now (after 3 additions). Market timing matters. Can iterate based on real feedback."
