i was hesitant to nominate "better keyboard" because while it is indeed better 
... it also has some minor regressions (worse for terminal usage; not 
completely clear that you can move it to the top with swiping; e.g.) and is 
not better (yet) in some key ways (layout switching e.g.) than what it will 
likely get compared to if we tout it as improved .. it is definitely now on a 
better foundation to work from and has a number of very real imprvements, but 
i'm not sure we want to draw attention to that as one of the Main Things to 
focus people on.

if we can come up with Three Really Great Things to focus on, and have the 
incremental improvements as an "...and also" that gives us something snappy, 
short and curiosity-inspiring. that's sth we can use in social media (where 
space and attention spans are limited) to get people to visit the website 
which has the expanded elevator pitch which then leads into the more in-depth 
information. waterfalls of attention span :)

if those 3 things are individual applications, that's also just fine .. and 
perhaps even easier to talk about.
