Tasks and goals
2. Reward system

1.So far we are looking at mobile app and website. Is that a good idea? What else is available? Any alternatives?
2. Should we have one app for everything or many smaller apps? What I have been thinking is something in between - One app that has modular parts (add-ons) you can have optionally (example bellow)]]> 2016-03-19 19:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/s_yotov/edproj/wish/101867037 s_yotov https://padlet.com/s_yotov/edproj/wish/101867203  You don't want the calendar add-on part as you already have something in place to organize yourself, but you want the other bits.
