Try planning with Luna, implementing with Sol with guidelines to not exceed the given scope.

Sounds counter-intuitive at first, but Luna is overall better at sticking with what works. Sol is wicked smart but needs constraints.

I expect Google will drop a new SOTA model soon. Rumor has it they're training a new model from the ground-up, which takes a while.

MacOS doesn't have to force it, users will gladly sign into their iCloud account. Virtually nobody uses the Windows Store, but the Mac App Store is a necessity given how restricted 3rd party apps are on macOS now.
