Question

Beyond friend install/update instructions, what README and supporting docs must exist for 1.0 beta (contributor orientation, glossary pointers, how to build)?

Resolution

Contributor / user docs bar for sideload-to-friends 1.0 beta (criteria only — write later):

Must — README.md

  1. Product one-liner — Flutter Android client for self-hosted Tiny Tiny RSS (friends sideload beta).
  2. Friend install pointer — link to wherever Friend install and update docs lands; do not duplicate install/update steps in the README.
  3. How to build — both:
    • nix develop + one Android Flutter run/build command (per flake hints)
    • a non-nix Flutter path (flutter pub get / flutter run / flutter build apk equivalent)
  4. Privacy callout — short blurb that the app stores password + sid for transparent re-login (ADR-0001) and talks to the user’s tt-rss instance over the network, plus a link to the fuller friend-facing privacy text owned by Privacy surface for friends / friend docs.

Not must for beta

  • CONTRIBUTING.md (or equivalent full contributor pack)
  • Architecture tour / glossary restatement in README
  • Doc-map links to CONTEXT.md / docs/mvp-spec.md / docs/adr/ (those stay available as-is; README need not index them)
  • Agent-skills docs (AGENTS.md / docs/agents/) as a readiness gate

Why

Friends + occasional contributors need an entry surface that isn’t an empty README, without turning beta into a docs project. Install depth and privacy depth stay with their packaging tickets; existing domain/spec/ADR docs already serve deeper orientation.
