☑ webapp-checklist

Problem

Every web app launch trips over the same forgotten details — and they're never the interesting ones. Security headers, TLS and certificate renewal, backups you've actually restored from, rate limits, monitoring, logging, the operational hygiene nobody budgets for until it's 3am. The failure mode is always the same: shipping the demo and calling it production.

Approach

Write them all down, once, in public — the technical details a programmer should consider before making a web app public — and keep the list honest as the platform shifts under it. No framework, no opinion to sell; just the load-bearing checklist I wish someone had handed me the first time.

Outcome

~366 stars — the most-starred thing I've ever shipped. Which is a little humbling: the most useful artifact I've put on the internet turned out to be a list. I've made my peace with that.
