The release kit.

Practical, general notes. Check platform rules yourself; they change.

Pre-release checklist

Ticks are kept only on this page view; nothing is saved or sent.

Write your empty states

A first-time user sees empty lists. Tell them what will appear and offer the one action that fills it.

Offline is a state, not a bug

Decide what can still work without signal, and say clearly when something will sync later.

Plan screenshots early

Store screenshots are a design job. Draft them while the screens are fresh, not on release day.

Forms must be honest

Only show “sent” when the server confirms it. Keep the visitor's text if it fails.

Test at 390 pixels

Many visitors arrive on a phone. Check nothing scrolls sideways at narrow widths.

Turn on two-step sign-in

For email and admin accounts, a second factor is one of the simplest protections available.

Know who owns your domain

Keep registrar logins in a company account, not with one person, and note renewal dates.
