As I understand it, these are the following forms of capitalization in the English language, and their corresponding CSS text-transform rules.
As I continue work on the One Thing to Do app, I've been thinking about the core goal of the project: training users to feel good when they need to complete or remember a task. TLDR: the app requires users to write a self-affirmation with every task they write. When viewing the todo list, self-affirmations are shown beneath tasks, to help keep the user in good spirits, to motivate them to do a task.
Create a list of feelings and visual descriptors to influence construction of the WKDU online design system & style guide.
