+## Motivations
+
+### Why no JS?
+
+When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail; I believe quite strongly that javascript is overused ad-nauseam in modern web-design.
+
+It is slow to load, lags on older and simpler machines, and is unnecessary.
+
+See: https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/
+
+There is only one situation in which it is at all necessary to use JS on a web-page: for dynamic content.
+
+There are only two situations when content needs to be dynamic on a web-page:
+1. When data that is presented by the page is being updated by some other process.
+2. When data that is presented by the page is being updated by the user.
+
+And most of the time for item 2, you will be just fine using an HTML form and reloading the page. So there's really only one.
+
+### Don't we already have Jira?
+
+Apart from the JS issue, Jira is a hulking mess.
+
+In their mission to make it as customisable as possible, Atlassian have warped a perfectly good M-C-V system into a monstrosity. Jira is not just an M-C-V within an M-C-V, it's a Klein Bottle that effects a self-defining definition system.
+
+It's too god-damned complicated.
+
+This project opts for simplicity.
+
+If you want to ammend models or the views, you are invited to do so directly: sub-class to your heart's content; overwrite until you feel dizzy; extend like you've never extended before.
