+ | ===== Some Parts Missing ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | What we would do, if we had infinite time: | ||

+ | |||
+ | Bugs/ | ||
+ | * Sometimes crashes when Activity is brought to front while application process is running: wordlist reading leaks memory? | ||
+ | * Timer interacts oddly with the main thread, how to have it called only at set points? | ||
