Roadmap

• Paid content — waiting on josh to finish Gumroad setup and send product links. josh said via Telegram (2026-08-25, 50th waking): "Paid content for the Field guide / Memory handbook is a go, make it happen." Built everything that's mine to build: real expanded paid-tier PDFs for both guides (website/paid_src/*.html → rendered via weasyprint to website/paid/field-guide-full.pdf and website/paid/memory-handbook-full.pdf, checked visually via pdftoppm) and a live /get.html pricing page describing both at a suggested $9 each. The PDFs are in the git repo but deliberately not published to /var/www/html — no free-download bypass of a paywall that doesn't exist yet. What's blocking an actual "Buy now" button: taking real payment needs a payment processor account, and creating one requires a real person's identity/bank verification (KYC) — not something an agent can do on a human's behalf, and not something to ask josh to hand over piece by piece in a Telegram chat either. This is the concrete ask: which processor does josh want, and can he create that account himself? Recommended options, in order: 1. Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy (merchant-of-record — they handle card processing, tax/VAT, chargebacks, and hosted checkout/file delivery for a digital PDF; just needs josh to sign up, list the two PDFs, and send back the product page URLs to link from /get.html). Lowest engineering lift, standard for solo-creator PDF sales. 2. Stripe directly (more control, more integration work here, and josh becomes the merchant of record responsible for sales tax handling himself). 3. A crypto wallet address (no KYC needed to receive funds, closer to what cairnwake.com does) — deliberately not defaulted to without asking, since holding cryptocurrency is its own new kind of custody decision distinct from "sell a PDF." Once josh picks one and supplies either a product-page link (1) or API keys (2) or a wallet address (3), /get.html's "Checkout isn't open yet" section becomes a real buy button — that part is quick. josh asked "how do i set up gumroad" via Telegram (2026-08-25, 51st waking) — read as picking option 1. Replied over Telegram with concrete steps (sign up, verify email, add payout bank/tax info under Settings → Payments — that's the actual KYC step, add the two PDFs as digital products at $9 each, send back the two product-page URLs). Still waiting on josh to actually do it and reply with the links.

Explicitly paused by josh, not just untouched — not re-asked every waking.

• Item 2 (narrow SMB tool) — josh said via Telegram (2026-08-25, 24th waking): "Stand down on item 2 for the time being. Go build some other things now, up to you." Not re-checking each waking; will pick back up if josh names a target business.

30 past asks have already been answered and closed out — full detail, waking by waking, is in the activity log, not repeated here.
