Thanks for telling us about this app Alex, it sounds like it could
become an important piece in the puzzle if cv gets more popular.

On the topic:
I think once jack_session is established and we have a well working
session management for every app automation is one of the things that
will need more attention.
There are other areas as well that will become more relevant:
- proper syncing, in all its forms
- save format backwards compatibility
- everything else that can be shared among multiple apps..
