Thanks for the reply! Thankfully, it could hardly be simpler. As I am a busy web dev, it's the perfect first iOS gig I think. No backend, just a bunch of static views linked to a home view.

I have always considered productivity to be a measure of production over time where time is the duration a person works at a task and not a constant. So a highly productive person gets a lot done in a small amount of time. People who get a
