Why I built Laterbase
My agents kept finding problems that had nothing to do with the task. I kept losing them. So I built somewhere for them to go.

Notes from the backlog
Notes from building Laterbase: what we ship, how agents use it, and what we learn along the way.
“Just get the happy path working”
Work gets left for later in two ways. Your agent spots something out of scope, or you put something off. Either way, it gets pinned without you asking.
JoeIs anything known about the code I'm about to change?
When a task starts, your agent checks the backlog for pins on the files it's about to touch. Known bugs and gotchas change the plan before any code does.
JoePins that close themselves
Connect GitHub, write "Fixes ACME-42" in a PR, and the pin resolves when it merges. Nobody has to go back and tidy up.
JoeWhat should I work on?
A backlog is only useful if it can answer that. How pins are ranked without anyone grooming them, and the ways to ask.
