Why this memo exists

Per Harnoor (2026-05-09): "snapdomain still needs work, QA testing etc, not prime-time ready." This is the persistent backlog so it doesn't get forgotten between sessions.

Strategic context: SnapDomain is the only TITAN-adjacent product with live Stripe + paid tiers. It's positioned as the "cash register" downstream of the silentinfinity.com audience flywheel (30 free apps + 3 newsletters drive traffic → SnapDomain converts). But the cross-promo (Q36) is gated on this memo's items being closed.

QA areas — prioritize before traffic

1. Payment flow end-to-end

[ ] Credit pack ($5/50) — full Stripe checkout, success page, credit balance reflected, can search 50× without errors
[ ] Pro ($9/mo) — recurring sub created, can upgrade from Free, can cancel from Stripe portal
[ ] Max ($79/mo) — same as Pro plus team-seat invitation flow tested
[ ] Failed payment — declined card / insufficient funds → clear error UX, no broken state
[ ] Refund flow — does a Stripe refund actually claw back credits? Test once.
[ ] Annual toggle — "20% off annual" copy implies annual exists but is it wired? Verify.

2. Search functionality

[ ] Single-keyword search returns results (cold start, fresh user)
[ ] Bulk search (10K combinations) — does it actually work or timeout?
[ ] All 6 strategies — direct / two-word / prefix-suffix / portmanteau / tech / numeric
[ ] All 14 TLDs — does each actually check correctly via Route 53?
[ ] CSV / JSON export — downloads work, headers correct, no truncation
[ ] Rate limit on free tier (3/day) — does it reset at midnight? Which TZ?
[ ] "Buy" button — clicking an available domain → does it route to a registrar? Affiliate code present?

3. Mobile + responsive

[ ] iPhone Safari rendering at 375px, 414px
[ ] Android Chrome
[ ] Search input doesn't get covered by mobile keyboard
[ ] Pricing grid wraps cleanly below 768px
[ ] CTAs are tap-targets ≥44px

4. Error states

[ ] No results found — friendly empty state, suggest different strategy
[ ] AWS Route 53 API timeout — graceful degradation message
[ ] Stripe checkout timeout — recoverable
[ ] User exhausts free 3 → clear "upgrade" path, not a dead end
[ ] Network offline mid-search — handled

5. Conversion funnel

[ ] Where does search-to-signup convert? Add analytics
[ ] Where does signup-to-checkout drop off?
[ ] "50% off Pro at launch" email form — does it actually save emails? Where do they go?
[ ] Honeypot field on email form (name="website" hidden input) — verify spam filter works
[ ] Time-on-site, bounce rate baseline — install Plausible or PostHog

6. SEO + content

[ ] OG image renders correctly when shared (Twitter / Slack / LinkedIn unfurl test)
[ ] Sitemap + robots.txt
[ ] Schema.org Product + Pricing markup
[ ] /pricing landing page or just anchor? (currently anchor)
[ ] Blog or content marketing for SEO (low priority — comes later)

7. Trust signals

[ ] Stripe badge in footer
[ ] Refund policy / terms / privacy linked
[ ] "Built with ⚡ on AWS" — keep or replace with Stripe trust mark
[ ] Testimonials section — currently none. Even 1-2 quotes would help conversion.

8. Bulk-gen edge cases

[ ] 100 keywords → 10K combinations: how long? UX during wait?
[ ] 1M combinations on Max tier — does it complete? Stream results?
[ ] CSV download size — does browser handle 1M rows?

Suggested execution

When ready to dispatch:

Spawn ONE forge agent with this memo as the brief
Agent runs each test, marks pass/fail, fixes mechanical issues inline
Outputs prioritized P0/P1/P2 bug list
Manual judgment items → flagged separately for Harnoor

Estimated effort: 4–6 hours of focused QA + ~2 hours of fixes. Total: 1 day.

After this is closed

Cross-promo unlocks:

Newsletter footers (3 newsletters × hundreds of subs eventually)
PRISM hub footer
Tasks dashboard footer
30 silentinfinity apps' footers (subtle: "TITAN runs on snapdomain.us / try it")

Each surface = a permanent funnel into the cash register.
