Backend's actually solid now — UI is still basically nothing

The backend pipeline is in a genuinely good place now — crawler, rule-based audit engine, PageSpeed integration, case study + email generation, all testable end to end. Went through a proper architecture pass this week: isolated Playwright contexts per job so one slow site doesn't take down a whole batch, added real timeouts and concurrency limits, proper job queueing instead of everything blocking one request. It went from "works on my machine sometimes" to something I'd actually trust running for someone else.

The frontend, on the other hand — currently 0%, maybe 1% if I'm generous. What's there right now is a placeholder-grade mess, not a real product UI. That's the next full focus: proper landing page, real tool screens, actual design instead of a default template.

Honestly this is the part of building I underestimate every time — a backend that works feels like "almost done," but nobody's going to trust a rough UI wrapped around it, no matter how solid the engine underneath is. Reminded of that the hard way looking at it last night.
