These are complex features
that have formed the basis for entire companies.
So in order to make progress with them,
we will need to _significantly_ leverage
the Open Source work of many brilliant people.

does not have much different
from existing apps that _partially_ solve the personal effectiveness challenge.
The _major_ differences will become apparent in due course:
1.
1. We are playing an
["***infinite game***"](https://github.com/dwyl/start-here/issues/190)
to help people
"_maximise their personal effectiveness, creativity and happiness_."
See:
[What is dwyl's mission?](https://github.com/dwyl/start-here/blob/master/mission.md#what-is-dwyls-mission) <br />
We will not _rest_ until we have created a system/app
that is _universally accessible_ to every human being
that allows _everyone_ a fair opportunity to live their best life.
Our goal is to _cooperate_ with many people/organisations
to build a comprehensive solution that _anyone_ can use.
2. All of our code will _always_ be ***Open Source***.
That means anyone is free to modify/extend/improve it.
And if people feel we are not doing a good enough job
of stewarding the App/community, they can _tell_ us!
Of the _many_ "productivity" apps out there,
almost _none_ are Open Source.
This means that your usage is locked-in to their system for better or worse.
Your data is bound by their "terms and conditions"
(_including being visible to 3<sup>rd</sup> party "analytics" providers
i.e. Google_)
and you are a _hostage_ to their whims.
If they decide to have a UI re-write
that _completely_ changes how you interact with the App,
you have _no control_ and are _forced_ to use the "new version";
their way or the highway.
2. **Progressive UI** -
1. We are building a robust and reliable app with a focus end-to-end testing
to ensure a consistent UX.
There shouldn't be any surprises or inconsistent UX (_bugs_),
and if there are, they can be reported and fixed _fast_.
