|---|

V1 scope (MVP — must ship)
- Landing page selling the campaign-first angle
- Email magic-link signup (Supabase Auth)
- Stripe Checkout (single Starter plan)
- Dashboard: paste YouTube URL, see job progress, download clips
- Backend: queue jobs, run pipeline, write clips to R2, debit credits
- Credit ledger so we never run a job without credits
Out of scope for V1
Scheduling, API access, MCP, brand templates, advanced editor, face tracking, and billing portal upgrades. All shipped in V2 once we have 5+ paying customers.
Status
Bootstrapping. See docs/plan.md for the build order.
