 Primary differences:
 
- - [X] No directory watch source, for now
+ - [x] Backend written as if Go is actually a typed language
+
+   I never would have started this project if existing projects were this way, as modifying them would have been far easier.
+
+ - [x] No directory watch source, for now
  
-    This is not a feature I need personally, but would be simple to implement as another [source](pkg/sources/).
+   This is not a feature I need personally, but would be simple to implement as another [source](pkg/sources/).
 
  - [x] Only supports Postgres DB right now. May add SQLite someday.
+
+   Most all database access is abstracted using a repository architecture. The calls table is also partitioned, with configurable intervals and retention.
+
  - [x] Filter calls by duration in search
+
+   This feature was a major impetus for even starting the project.
+
  - [x] Both REST and WebSocket APIs
+
+   REST is used for the admin interface, and WebSockets/protobuf are used for listener apps, including *Calls* (both Flutter and terminal versions).
+
  - [x] Uses protobuf instead of JSON for the WebSocket API (no slices of integers for call audio!)
+
+   Another thing that originally spawned the project.
+
  - [x] Talkgroup activity alerting
+
+   We use [go-trending](https://github.com/andygrunwald/go-trending) to implement this.
+
  - [x] "Native" flutter client (Calls) for Android/iOS/macOS/Linux/Windows (in progress)
+
+   This client, as of this writing, works for listening linearly only. More functionality to come. Currently available [here](https://github.com/amigan/calls).
+
  - [x] RadioReference talkgroup import, SDRtrunk talkgroup playlist export
+
+    Just copy and paste from RadioReference. You can also have your talkgroup labels in SDRtrunk!
+
  - [x] Incidents functionality (group past calls together and retain them)
- - [x] No premiumization nags
+
+   Keep track of interesting past calls and link them to your friends. Calls linked to an incident are even swept away before retention pruning is done!
+
+ - [x] No premiumization nags or advertising of any kind
+
+   Another thing that drove me to start this project. It's either open source, or it isn't, folks.
+
  - [x] 3-clause BSD license
 
+   But that doesn't mean I don't want your improvements so that I may incorporate them!

 ## Note
 
 If this message is still here, the database schema *initial migration* and protobuf definitions are **still subject to change**.
