### USP: What is _different_ about the @dwyl App?

A valid/relevant **question** is: what makes the @dwyl App unique?
i.e. What is our
["unique selling point"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_selling_proposition)?<br />
The **answer** is: _initially_ it may _appear_ that our App
does not have much different
from existing apps that _partially_ solve the personal effectiveness challenge.
The _major_ differences will become apparent in due course:

We are going to _eliminate forced updates_
by implementing a UX/UI innovation we call Progressive UI.
3. **Progressive UX/UI** - the UX/UI for _each_ person using the app,
will be _personalised_ to the individual
based on the features they (_most_) _use_.
If the person does not _use_ a particular function, they won't _see_ it.

There shouldn't be any surprises or inconsistent UX (_bugs_),
and if there are, they can be reported and fixed _fast_.
