Three Roadmap Issues, Week One at a New Job

Context beats raw data. "epicgames.exe taking 40% CPU" looks like a virus until you know it's the launcher.

This week's plan — three issues from the roadmap to 1.7.8.

Week one at Żabka left me with no evening coding energy, so the Easter weekend became catch-up mode. What already shipped: the process library for PC Workman — 80+ Windows processes, each with a name, what it does, and whether it's safe. Build-in-public means showing what actually happens.

The three issues

The aim: v1.7.8 feature-complete by the end of April, a Microsoft Store submission in Q4 2026, and a full-time dev role in 2026. And a huge thank-you for nearly 100 downloads — amazing feeling.
