Reflection

This project was spontaneously conceived and launched within hours, inspired by the demand for fixed-price MVP services observed on social media and personal inquiries. The quick action plan and execution demonstrate the project's potential impact and value proposition.

I'll provide an update on the project's progress and its impact in the coming weeks.
