I believe someone suggested an idea to put the successor apps up to a vote some time after the end of the school year, and gunn.app will then redirect to the winning app. |

To avoid disrupting the common students next year, who I doubt will stay up to date with any OOPS shenanigans, I plan on updating UGWA with minimal changes for the new year (i.e. changing school year start/end dates, etc.), and then cease updating UGWA from that point onwards. This way, if they stay under a rock over the summer and instinctively open UGWA on the first day of school, they can still get through their day without having to worry about switching apps in the morning. |

I will list existing plans/ideas here, and others can suggest their own ideas here as well
