I Built the MVP First. Then I Wrote the README.

I did this in the wrong order. At least, that was my first thought. I was building a small project that checks images and documents for privacy risks. The backend came first, then the API, then a frontend that finally made it feel like an actual service. Somewhere along the way, I realized something. I had built quite a lot before properly organizing the requirements and documentation. Normally, I would expect the order to look more like this: requirements → design → implementation → test
