Week 3: Polish + First Organic Signal
Four mobile layout iterations. CSS audit. First stranger reached out unprompted to say they liked the product.
Mobile: four iterations in four days
Mobile was broken. Stacked layout didn't work, pills overflowed, the monitor was invisible. Iterated through four approaches: stacked prose + monitor, horizontal pills with inline trace, app-style tabs (Learn/Run/Next), then the final polished version with overflow menu and difficulty badges. Fixed iOS scroll bugs with touch-pan-y and overscroll-contain. Every interactive element got 44x44px touch targets.
CSS audit
Went through every file and replaced hardcoded hex colors with theme tokens, added focus rings to all inputs, switched to the --header-height CSS variable, removed the mobile banner that was hiding content. Both light and dark mode tested and working.
The first organic compliment
Someone I don't know messaged me unprompted to say they liked tinyagents.dev. Not a friend. Not someone I asked. First real signal that the product resonates with strangers. Same week, spotted a Google Keep repeat visitor — someone bookmarked the site and came back three days in a row. Small numbers, but real engagement from real people.
