FAQ

How many apps per session?

Aim for one strong application per 3-block sprint. If you finish early, start outlines for the next one.

Can I do this with a friend?

Yes—shared rooms keep momentum. Swap outlines in the break for quick feedback.

What about AI?

Use AI for structure ideas, not final wording. Keep quotes short and personal details private.
