The Launch Plan, on One Page

Open the file, and it reads like a page that someone cared about. Clear headings, a calm measure, and no raw syntax in the way. This is the short version of how we ship Launch 2.0, written so anyone on the team can read it in one sitting.

This week

  • Ship the reading view
  • File docs into Reading Rooms
  • Shelve what is done

How we will know it is ready

  1. The free app opens launch-plan.md and a PDF in the same calm layout.
  2. Highlights, editing and versions stay behind EazyReader+, clearly marked as coming soon.
  3. A first-time Mac or Windows user can go from download to first page without a tour.

Reading never changes your file. That is the promise we keep, even when the writing tools arrive.

A note for the build

Keep the default document at docs/launch-plan.md. The first heading stays title case. If you need to smoke-test the converter, this is enough:

eazyreader --open launch-plan.md
eazyreader --open launch-plan.pdf

Everything after this line is still part of the same page: owners, dates, and the open questions we have not settled yet. Scroll when you need them.

Open questions

The free reader ships for Mac and Windows together. Enterprise is a later shared hub, not part of this launch. We will not announce dates until both apps are signed.

  1. Open any .md

    Double-click a Markdown file once EazyReader is your default, or open it in the app.

  2. Read beautifully

    Clear type, real headings, comfortable line length. No raw syntax in the way.

  3. Organize in Reading Rooms

    Group docs into Reading Rooms and Collections. Shelve what you're done with.
