📋 Next Steps (Manual Actions Required)

1. Create GitHub Release (5 minutes)

  1. Go to: https://github.com/AVPthegreat/codebase-problem-scrapper/releases/new

  6. Click "Publish release"

Why: This creates a proper GitHub release page with downloadable source code archives

2. Take Screenshots/Demo Video (30-60 minutes)

Screenshots needed:

  1. Main page with prompt input and options
  2. Real-time progress tracking with logs
  3. Problem curation interface
