Hey Dirk, it was great to meet you in person as well!

1) if I were to start a mobile sort of "backlog", where would I put said
list? If it's totally up to me, it would be easiest to maintain it from the
same place where I interact with the code, in the Github Projects tab
(Kubernetes does a similar thing
https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/projects/34). I think you will have to
create the project in github and give me permission to create cards within
it, or give me permission to do so via org permissions (I believe there is
a way to make someone admin of Project boards only, and not the actual
repository settings or org settings).

2) Downloaded the desktop app and looked through forums and the links
above, I see now the statistics tab and how it works, starting to get some
ideas

3) I cc'd a friend (jordan), he may be able to give me a little time with
the ux design

4) I noticed some low hanging fruit I might start with (like alignment on
screen or using the notch on an iphone, etc), just to get used to the
release/build process using QT/QML, I'll add them to the project board if
you want to go that route

regards,
Bryan
