What we're building, in the open

All 30 sectors are live and Fobi is free. What ships next is steered by the people reading The Briefing: reply to any edition, or use the feedback button on any page, and the most-asked-for things move up.
Backlog
Features we're considering. Roughly ordered from "obvious next step" at the top to "ambitious bet" at the bottom. None of this is committed; the list shifts as we learn what readers actually use.
