    Is this related to the Lift startup that makes the habits app or are they just named the same?

    Lately, as I hear of extremely-cool startups being acquired by Google, I feel rather sad. I would much rather see them succeed on their own, than disappear into the belly of Google. And I really can't see how Google, which is an advertising company, can bring value to this acquisition.

    I am so happy to hear about this, and about Lift in general. I've had a number of loved ones effected by this and seeing products that make life even a little bit easier is just really cool.

    To my shame I'd never heard of this product before, but looks like epic work. Congrats on heading to X!
